Eviction Moratorium Not Applicable (226/366)

TIME: 6:48 pm
PLACE: Front Porch
SUBJECT: Unwelcome tenant

 
*~*~*

The CARES Act included a 120-day federal eviction moratorium - this was for renters in federal housing programs or who lived in a property that had a federally backed mortgage on it.  The ban expired on July 34th - landlords can now issue a 30 days' notice to tenants telling them to vacate the property.

Even if the ban was still in place, it doesn't apply to the birdhouse on our front porch; it is not in a federal housing program nor is it saddled with a federal mortgage.

We are going to serve this guy and his roommates with an extermination notice very shortly.

TIME:  7:47 AM
PLACE:  Front porch
SUBJECT:  Wasp in web

I don’t like wasps (who does?) so I wasn’t too upset when I noticed this one caught in the rather large spider web located in one of the corners of our front porch.  MB found two more webs and two very large spiders in the back yard while taking the dog out this morning, but when I went out there to investigate, the spiders had hidden themselves away.  After supper, MB and I went back outside and saw one of the spiders sitting on its web.  I took photos but I the pics I snapped did not capture him very well.  I’ll try again to take the arachnid’s picture ‘cause I’ve got to show you how big & creepy he is. *shudders*
