Departure of the POD people

So over the weekend, with help from Butterfly, the last of the Stuph from the pod came back into the house, and the thing itself is scheduled for pickup tomorrow by the company we rented it from.  (Incidentally, I’ll say that I was very satisfied with them, and wouldn’t mind giving a recommendation for anyone in the Megapolis who might need such a thing.)  The impending pickup meant I also had to get out tonight and clean off the graffiti left by the neighborhood taggers, and I’ll note that Klean-Strip graffiti remover does an awesome job of taking that crap off—without ruining the underlying painted surfaces in the process.

With the pod going back whence it came, I can declare the roof project to be Officially Over.  There are still we haven’t got done (re-mud the sewing room walls, paint the sewing room), but for all practical purposes it’s done with, and my neighbors get to have back the chunk of 47th Street that I’ve monopolized with it ever since May.  And I get rid of that $107 hole the rent was knocking in the household budget every month.
