Photos of my progress in clearing trash, garbage, and "stuff" out, and cleaning up. Because I had no funds, I had to wait for a year to get my partial payout from SSI back payments owed in order to cover expenses, including retaining a lawyer. - BARB

14 Alice H. Richardson's "Mold Promotion" process: damage the sink's HOT water line so it leaks, and the sink can't be used for proper cleaning - and mold and rot take over: it's a two-fer. - #rathouse
15 Empty boxes yanked from the piles, photographed before I broke them all down and took them to the dump for recycling: kindling. - #rathouse
16 Biohazard? I can't say, but it sure as hell is UGLY. #biohazard
17 Food cache. This is NOT random: Boxes like this were scattered all over the living room and elsewhere; it's a cache, and just APPEARS random.
18 My repair of the lightswitch for the Living Room. "No! Don't turn on the lights! The rats have chewed through the wires! You'll start a fire!" - Alice H. Richardson - #rathouse

59 Alice actually got something done: she moved her ancient red Chevy van out of the driveway. NB: a classic vehicle entirely immune to EMP attacks.

118 Weird. Really hard to sort out, much less to make sense of; alas, it does all make sense - as a pattern of DESTRUCTION.

121 Precious. Hidden amongst Alice H. Richardson's "stuff." What can I say? She's a thief, and worse than a thief, a destroyer of LIFE and of our hopeful intentions. - #rathouse
122 My Stanley Philips head screwdrivers! More stolen goods uncovered: YAY! PS: These were in the plastic box in the entryway in the earlier photos: my convenient repair kit was GONE when I returned. GONE = "No repairs" - for a while.
123 The front entrance porch, with more holes opened to allow easy access for rodents. - #rathouse
124 Impromptu repair. "Why do I feel like I am playing a leading role in 'The Nutcracker'? This makes NO SENSE!" - lol.

148 "The Last Hobbit's Entrenching Tool" - I was overjoyed to find this among the junk; it's my Army G.I. Entrenching Tool - which I used to break ice on the trail up to Cornell in the Cascadilla Creek gorge, back when it was "proscribed"… and in winter, ice grew thick on the steps - where there was no longer any chain to prevent falls, after the flood of 1981. - bonze anne blayk - #alyha
