The house I am currently working at is in Fruit Heights, right up there on the mountain side, not a huge house but nice... lots of critters and birds and BUGS. My task has been to create order in a large unfinished basement, used as an office, play place and "storage area" if you call /stop and toss/ storage then that is what it WAS. What began as a 2 week job has turned in to 4 and if these folks have their way I may never leave. The funny thing about people who live in chaos is that they usually don't prefer it that way so when they see order they request more and I am pretty happy to oblidge so long as they are happy to pay for it! Anyways, there are 5 windows in this basement with those in the ground window wells (the kind you can access and SEE from the basement), they had been used as a recycling receptacle for soda cans... ick. The man I am working for asked if I would "help him" clean them out, "OF COURSE" I say , they distract from the now beautifully organized basement. These wells are filled with garbage, leaves and spiderwebs... so armed with the shop-vac, gloves, long sleeves, a car ice scraper and a broom I remove the debris, vaccum the webs... spiders, bugs, and god knows what else. What I have realized about this new line of work is that it is going to be filled with BUGS... I found 3 black widows, 2 hobo spiders and this which i now know as a Jerusalem Cricket (and i had to email an entemologist to find that out.) End Note: I really dont like BUGS!!
