The siding was delivered. The contractor and crew came. One wall is almost all dismantled. Funny thing is how there was no tyvek or something like that behind the siding. There will be with the new siding. Found rat trails. And a dead rat. It was just starting to smell so I'm glad we found it. The guy who found it said there was a funky smell when he pulled a piece of siding off. I commented about getting little whiffs in the house. You know that what the heck did I just smell and then it was gone. And then it would happen again. Well now we know and are very appreciative of it being out of the wall and disposed of. Think that was the one I heard last week. The timing is right.
Janie, the contractor cleaned up both sides of the house. One side had stuff that needed to be in my dump pile and the other was weeds. Looks so much better. The purpose is for when they paint the new siding they have to have clear access.
While waiting for the dump guy I managed to get a guy coming tomorrow on an estimate for the garage door. And then I signed up for yard waste with the garbage company. No more composting here. I don't want anything that attracts rats and compost is something that does.
And then I waited some more on the dump guy. I'm down to all he has to do is haul the load to the dump. Between what I did and what Janie did, all the clean up I wanted done is done. He finally texted that he had just got off work. I let him know he just had a dump run now and asked if he was coming. And I got no response. Okay then.
On facebook we were talking about house expenses...roofs, siding, etc. And I just got a wild hair and asked Joe how much his little truck would hold. He said not much, but he was willing to help me. So I think if I pull the yard debris back out and put it in the new yard waste bin coming on Friday, the rest may fit in his little truck. I never have an outrageous dump run.
Now I just need to find a plumber. But I feel like I am on a roll.
