Epsiode 2: The Cleanup/Aftermath

These are all pics from after the backyard had been cleaned and the huge bin outside was overflowing with debris.

This is the huge metal bin that was RIGHT OUTSIDE our door! That's right folks, your eyes do not deceive you, that's a bed frame, some shingles and a boxspring. Let's take a closer look ...


Now, there's that bag of potting soil, some garbage, some paint, and various other delights. And just a quick reminder, that ALL came from our roof. Just ours, no one elses. Amazing.

This is the backyard after the cleanup! Look how beautiful it is! Look how clean! Look at that huge ladder ... (On the left, that's Kiki's window sill and mine is further back, near the ladder. I know you don't care, but still.)

This is the view from our back door. We had NO IDEA that big metal thing was there. We don't know what it is, but we are delighted that it's not covered in sewage anymore.

And, alas, the cause of all our trouble, the source of "the smell" and most disgustingly, home to the huge matted hair ball, many spiders and more than a dozen slugs. Those 3 pipes drain the water from the shower, the laundry machine and the toilet. Mmmmmm ... the word you're searching for is "rustic".

So that's the end of the Backyard Thrillogy pics. Not very entertaining, but at least now you can picture what we're saying in the emails.
