Attic Cleaning Day 2, with Visuals!

Day 2 of the attic cleaning went pretty well. Again I didn't see any live creatures, which is a blessing. Did however find 2 more skeletal remains of mice. Now that's a great site to see, but then again it means mice have been busy with their orgies in that space as well. So today I concentrated on vacuuming up all the dirt, acorns, mouse dropping, paper, nails (the type used for construction, not human nails...thank god), etc...you get the point. I first started to use the shop-vac, but man it just kept getting too much in the hose to where it kept getting clogged up. So the best thing I did was to sweep it up first with a dust pan and hand broom. Definitely wore a dust mask when I was doing this. There so much dust and crap floating around in the air, that it made my mask pretty well covered in black residue. And the rooms upstairs were pretty fogging as well. It didn't help with my shop-vac getting clogged up, because when it did that, it just shot out alot of dust as well. Anyways, I took some pics which I hope to share with you to give you an general idea of what it looked like and what it looks like after sweeping all the stuff out. Lets try some pics out:


This picture shows some of the stuff that I
had to sweep up.


Just my feet and the dirty ass floor.


Here's that little doorway I was talking about
in the "Attic Cleaning Day 1" blog.


Oh yeah, a site I like to see! A dead mouse.


One side of the attic all cleaned up and ready
for the electrician.

So tomorrow I'm going to be cleaning on the other side of the attic. This side of the attic doesn't have as much crap as the other did. The pictures I just showed, show a completely different attic. I really regret not getting some pictures before I started cleaning it out. You'd be amazed at how bad it was. Oh well, I will write again tomorrow about my cleaning adventure.

Thanks for reading!
