What a major inconvenience tenting your house is! (expensive, too!) By the time you figure in the job itself on a big house like this, boarding the 3 dogs & two cats, plus the expense of having to live else ware for several days......we could have gone on a nice vacation, a frivolous shopping spree or made a decent dent in our property taxes for next year. Or we could have saved our money.....regardless....the house will not fall in onto itself from termite damage.....I guess that's worth something. When you spent that kind of money on your house, you kind of want to SEE it...new floors, new siding.....anything visible. Done and over.......
Oh, did you know the stuff kills your plants? OOOOPs.......I had 7 or 8 orchids out back in various stages of regrowth.....no more. Plus all the ferns around our deck are looking a bit fatigued now....was wanting to thin them out anyway....
We are still trying to "unpack" the bags they give you to bag up items staying in the house, catch up on laundry and tidy up...I got a little embarrassed that they saw the sad state of our home office under mounds of stuff....I'm sure they see plenty, but this was MY stuff. Just not enough time in the week to property prepare for or clean up after. I'm a little under the weather as well this weekend, so I'm just one big pity party.
I wish I had gotten a picture of the tent...it was green, not circus stripes; that would have been a fabulous picture. "The Big Square Circus Tent"
