The Circus has left town!

Location, Home, CA

The tenting of the house is done. Hopefully all the termites have met their demise.

The tent came off yesterday and the house was vented overnight. Late this morning we got the all clear from the Termite Company that we could go back in. Our first order of business was to wipe down all the cupboard shelves with Clorox. Not that it was a requirement but it was a good opportunity to clean things. The refrigerator also was wiped down inside.

The gas company restored our gas and relit pilots and checked that all appliances worked. We moved things back where they belonged, made the beds, and threw out a few items well pass their useful date.

The only odor in the house was that of old tarps which covered the house. A little baking soda sprinkled on the carpets cleared that up.

Tomorrow we will move the garage freezer back and the bulk items back in the garage.

Yesterday I finalized the order for the new front door. It will not be here until Oct 27th. They will install it while I am gone.

The steel I ordered for the woodshed came yesterday. I need to pick it up tomorrow.
