Day 407

We got our dumpster delivered today. Jonathan lowered all of the bags of insulation from the third floor. And we carried them to the empty dumpster. We also put all of the lathe up on the back porch. Now they are ready for stage two.

Over the last few days, we have been noticing a smell...kind of a dead animal smell. Our first thought was that one of the birds we knew had been on third floor had died. And actually there were 2 dead birds up there. Jonathan got rid of them yesterday. But they were not the cause of the smell. It seemed to be coming from the girls' room. I was not looking forward to finding something dead behind their amoire. So today we moved things around and took a look. We had began wondering if maybe it could be dead bees in the wall. Jonathan had put some poison in the wall about a week ago. There were still a lot of bees flying around, but it seemed like not as many as before. So now we think that the smell is dead bees in the wall. And I am hoping to get it out of there as soon as possible.

So today we also made a trip into Lincoln to get supplies for the Great Bee Attack 2010. Jonathan has been spraying them over and over this afternoon and evening. Tonight we will see if we can get the wall opened up and kill those bees.
