The ladder we used for the tree cutting and roof maintenance extravaganza was monstrous. We should have rented a a crane to help raise it since it seemed to weigh about as much as a steel girder.We've bought some fun tools for the house, too. The new shop vac could probably pull nails out of the floor. That poor vacuum has been put through its paces this week - it cleaned up the unidentified crud from the kitchen floor, mountains of dust left from the removal of carpet from the stairs, a mound of dog food, and so on.
The lingering odor of the tenant and her pack of dogs is improving. We removed some stinky carpet from the stairs this weekend. That helped quite a bit. Of course, we now have a big crop of carpet staples to harvest from the stairs. Talk about tedious. But, we are certainly making a lot of progress.
