The Cleaning
.
OK. It’s clean(ish) now…
Hello again, Gentle Reader(s?),
At long last, it is time to pick up where we left off last time in our discussion (monologue?) on Bird Fecal Material and how it arrives in and, subsequently, interacts with our fountain (Bird Toilet).
Today, I will present my version of how to rectify the situation and, therefore, once again, be able to employ our fountain in a manner commensurate with its primary intended use (to look pretty without smelling too badly).
Several items were wielded in the process of accomplishing the desired end, and I would like to list them now (not necessarily in the order of use).
-
- Shop Vac
- Gloves – two sets
- Roll of Paper Towels
- Flat Head Screwdriver
- Needle Nosed Pliers
- Garden Trowel
- Trash Can
- Garden Hose
- Folding Stool (the kind you sit upon, not what the birds left behind)
- Fresh Container of Clorox Wipes
- 4-Tine Foraged Garden Cultivator
- Available Shower With Lot’s of Soap, Shampoo and Anti-Viral Type Stuff
- Several Hours of Spare Time
Let’s get started, shall we (I)?
Well, on second thought, I’m not going to get too descriptive, here. Let’s just say that the odds are somewhat better than even that I won’t be using my garden trowel to eat out of my shop vac very soon…
