Take that!

We're hoping the termite treatment gets rid of the fleas in the basement. Toaster, Idget and I are covered in bites. Idget's fur is so thin you can see where he's scratched and it kind of looks like chicken pox. Of course, Rob doesn't have a single bite.

We're a little concerned the fleas might become an ongoing problem, especially with the long grass in the backyard. Since we plan to have a vegetable garden, I'm reluctant to use anything too toxic to kill them off in the yard.

I've fantasized about owning chickens for some time and now that I know they eat fleas...

Casa de Shithole


This shot of the back of the house only hints at the work we have ahead.

We christened this place 'casa de shithole' during escrow. Apparently Toaster agreed. He crapped on the floor within two minutes of walking in the door.
