There is some prep work that has to happen first. When there was a roof leak (see yesterday's post) the hole was large enough for some squirrels to get into the attic and PARTY! Although the squirrel party is long over, the mess remains.
The insulation has been shredded. I love chewing fiberglass, don't you? There weren't a lot of boxes there, but the squirrels went through them. Hey, lets try this on. Color looks great, but no room for my tail. Anybody find a party hat? Where did you find those great shoes? Hey mom, can I sleep in this purse?
Of course I probably should not have left the boxes in there since we moved into the house in the 1980's. Out of sight, out of mind - until the squirrel party.
So I am hauling the boxes down from the attic one by one to go through them. There isn't enough light or space to deal with them properly where they are. Once they are emptied, we'll need to redo the insulation and repair the holes permanently. It's a first step. Sometimes the prep work has to be done before you can get to the heart of the matter.
