#Hoarding Cleanup

[tiger-in-the-flightdeck]

I wanna thank whoever put one of those 'You don't totally suck if you live in squalor' post on my dash recently, because it really lit a fire under my tush to start getting a handle on the squalor I've been living in.

I'm physically disabled, and have a hoarding compulsion, so it is always so freaking hard for me to actually Do The Thing, but that post reminded me 'Oh, right! I'm physically disabled, and have a hoarding compulsion. Of course it's gonna be harder for me than regular folks!' So I'm doing little things to make it easier. Today specifically that means sitting on a chair and using barbecue tongs to grab trash and stick it in a bag.

It'll take me a lit longer than someone without my conditions, but making tweaks will get it done a whole hell of a lot faster than not doing anything.

Update I just posted to gfm

Well, progress is happening, but it's taking more time, effort, and money than expected. The only working appliances are the heat and the water heater, and there's a weird rainbow sheen to the water from the water heater.

The fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer, and deep freeze are all dead. All of them except the fridge are still in the house, because there wasn't room in the dumpster. The deep freeze is still full of what was food before the freezer died. It's been at least a decade since the freezer died. The toilet has to be flushed with a bucket because I tried to save money on replacing it. (but it doesn't leak, so small blessings.) The kitchen sink is leaking from multiple places and will need a new garbage disposal or the disposal removed and replaced with pipe, as well as the leaky pipe replaced. The bathroom sink has a leak in the cold water in pipe, and the cabinet the sink is set in is rotting from the leak.

So far it's taken about a grand to get my car running again, and as I didn't have a grand I had to agree to give my ex the car after I'm done moving to get him to pay for the repairs. There are multiple rooms exposed to the attic which opens to the outdoors under the eaves, because the roof got fixed when it leaked, but the damage it had caused to the interior rooms was left unrepaired.

I am trying to make choices like this is all going to work out, but I don't see how it can. All my problems take money to fix. I don't have money, and I don't have anywhere else to go.

I have video of the house back in November before the cleaning, and from last week, but the files are huge and I'm working on the best way to get them uploaded. I've got screenshots from the videos tho, before and after, standing in the same place, looking the same direction. You can see the same mirror and doorway in both.

We have gotten so much done, but there's so much left to do. I'm not going to get done in time to avoid having an eviction filed, but my county routinely gives you 30 days after the eviction is ruled, to pay and stay or leave without the sheriffs showing up. I wanted to avoid having had an eviction filed against me, but it doesn't really matter I guess. Legal aid never got back to me. I'm doing the best I can.

You guys Biohazard Remediation classes are kicking my ass! Running your own business is hard, but running a business where you deal with biohazards on a daily basis??? It’s ridiculous the amount of laws I have to learn by heart Dx

Also, THEY DONT PICK UP THE BIOHAZARD BOXES THE SAME DAY WTF!!! I have to STORE BIOHAZARDS for up to TWO WEEKS before they come grab them. TWO WEEKS! That’s so gross Dx Plus finding a storage unit facility willing to store biohazards is uh… it’s a bit of a struggle (understatement of the century -_-)

We all desperately need help as it makes it hard to move around and takes a very extreme toll on our mental health. I’m filled with dead and shame every morning due to this which is why I want to call cleaning services but that is extremely costly. If you guys can share or donate to my gofundme I would appreciate you guys a lot. You all would be a BIG SHOT

The Nightmare in the Attic: Cleaning Up a Pigeon Infestation

A Noisy Warning Sign

It started with innocent rustling sounds, mistaken for the wind. But soon, the noises escalated—scratching, fluttering, cooing, and occasional thuds.

Then came the smell. A strong ammonia-like odor spread through the house, seeping through vents. The homeowners tried air fresheners, deep cleaning, even sealing off rooms—nothing worked.

That’s when they called God Crew. From their description alone, we knew what we were dealing with—a full-blown pigeon infestation.

Discovery: A Hidden Health Hazard

The stench in the attic was unbearable, even with respirators.

Layers of pigeon droppings covered the wooden beams, hardened over time.

Insulation was soaked in urine, turning into a bacteria-infested sludge.

Nests filled every corner, holding abandoned eggs, feathers, and mites.

The air was contaminated with Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes severe lung infections.

This was more than just cleaning—it was hazardous waste removal.

The Filthy Cleanup Process

Dealing with this infestation required extreme caution to avoid exposure to airborne pathogens.

Step 1: Protective Gear & Containment

Before stepping inside, we suited up in full hazmat suits, goggles, and industrial respirators. Pigeon feces contain over 60 known diseases, making protection essential.

To prevent contamination, we sealed off the attic with plastic sheeting, ensuring the rest of the house remained unaffected.

Step 2: Dry Debris Removal

Used HEPA vacuums to suck up loose debris, feathers, and dried feces.

Avoided excessive movement to prevent airborne contamination.

Scraped off hardened droppings using industrial scrapers and enzyme degreasers.

The stench of stale ammonia and rotting organic matter was overwhelming.

Step 3: Deep Disinfection & Decontamination

After waste removal, we began the sanitization process:

Applied enzyme-based cleaners to break down organic residue.

Used antimicrobial fogging treatments to disinfect air and surfaces.

Removed all contaminated insulation—a breeding ground for bacteria.

Sanitized every surface with hospital-grade disinfectants.

Final Touch: Prevention and Restoration

Cleaning up was just one part of the job—keeping pigeons out was the next challenge.

Installed metal mesh over attic vents to block entry points.

Sealed cracks and holes to eliminate access.

Placed spike strips along roof edges to deter future roosting.

Advised homeowners to monitor roof damage to prevent reinfestation.

After 12+ grueling hours, the attic was finally safe and livable again.

The Aftermath: A Safe Home Once More

The homeowners were relieved and amazed at the transformation. They had endured months of discomfort, unknowingly living beneath a severe health hazard. Now, their home was restored to a clean, breathable space.

For us, it was just another day in the intense world of biohazard cleaning.

One of the Messes my late father left was the state of the black barn field. He hauled large logs in there and cut some of them up for firewood, but left others just . . lying there. He decided for some inscrutable reason to stockpile used bricks, concrete block, old farm equipment, and piles of limestone rock just . . here and there. Ah, THIS looks like a good place for a pile of boulders! Add in many dumptruck loads of poor, shaley "fill dirt" that he had someone dump there and just left. THEN trees started growing up in and around all that, because that's what trees do. Oy. Anyway.

Son has been working on this field with the chainsaw.

That's the small pile of saplings he cut down; there's another massive pile of saplings, branches, rotten fenceposts, etc off to the right. That big log lying there growing moss could have been milled, chopped into firewood - but it was just left there. As my father stopped being able to do physical work around the farm he was not aware of it; he kept thinking that he'd 'feel better tomorrow' and get back to cutting wood and taking care of the lawn. When we noticed that he'd stopped being able to do things, we did as much as we could, but actually caring for him and the house was a pretty big job in and of itself.

So. We slog along.

Piles of bricks. and dirt. and stone. with dozens of box elder trees sprouting up.
