The circus is in town!

Yesterday the termite fumigation was started on the house. Boo termites! Hooray for a house full of chemicals!

I was inside cleaning up grout when the guys started covering the house. No worries, they knew I was in there!

Here are the workers clamping pieces of tarp together. 

Those are some giant canisters of gas. They spray in tear gas first as a warning, then spray in the good stuff.

They worked very hard to leave the really tragic diseased bush outside of the tarp, but the geraniums are inside. Oh well, they were looking sad and I don't actually like geraniums much...

Here's our little house almost ready for fumigation. I didn't stay until they finished because watching a house being covered in a tarp is only entertaining up to a point.

The house will be uncovered tomorrow and we're allowed back in in the evening. Packing is coming along and we're excited to start the process of getting settled!
