Our lives have literally been upended for about 3 weeks. We just can't seem to win right now ..... first the tick spraying treatment didn't get them all (next generation just replaced the dead ones) ...... so the pest control company referred us to a "fumigator" who tents houses for termites, dry rot, ... whatever.
We made the arrangements; moved out into a motel; put the dogs in a kennel; parked the motorhome in a storage lot (actually on the grassy field next to the storage lot); and for a full 48 hours our tented motorhome was sealed, gassed, and had a guard sitting near it to prevent anyone from entering the hazardous area.
Everything went well, except it rained all night before we were to have it released back to us yesterday. Yep, stuck in the mud. Wrecker came and said (other than about a thousand dollar work order) to let the field dry out.
So .... every living thing inside the motor home is now dead, plus all the grass under the coach .... no ticks .... just sitting by itself .... buried up past the rims .... tilting to one side ..... looking sad ..... and so are we!
All our adventures seem to be bigger and more complicated than we plan for.
After we get it out (maybe Tues. or Wednesday), we get the old carpet torn out; the pest guy comes to spray the wood subfloor; we move the remainder of our belongings out again; install the new carpet; and get a final preventative spray from the pest guy... then move back in, get the dogs and give them a final treatment ..... and maybe get on with our lives :)
But .... on the upside ... can't say we aren't living an adventure!
Later, Marilyn
