Thanksgiving Weekend Saturday morning

I headed to the property on Thursday, Thanksgiving, and arrived in Post Falls late in the evening.  I stayed at a motel I had stayed in on my last trip, an older place, but clean and quiet.  I noticed an unpleasant smell in the lobby when I entered and thought, it's not too bad.  It reminded me of nursing homes I had worked in when I was younger, sort of a cleaning solution trying to cover the smell of feces and decay.  I walked all the way to the end of the hall to my room and the smell (o oo o that smell) stayed with me.  I entered my room and it was a little better.  I had a beer and went to bed, I woke around 10:30 and then again at around 1:00 and the smell was stronger, it was so strong, I could not get back to sleep.  In the morning, I checked out of the motel, and told the person at the counter that the air quality was bad, so I couldn't stay the whole weekend like I had planned.  I told her what I thought it smelled like and instead of pretending to be concerned for my discomfort (customer service) and perhaps retaining a customer for the future, she dismissed my concerns and protested my feelings.  Oh Well.

On Friday, I went to The Back 40, a local big box farm store.  I picked up some rubber boots, some gloves a stocking cap and a 6' ladder.  Then out to the property where I sprayed the inside of the trailer with vinegar in an attempt to kill some of the mold, I removed the inside storm windows and then finished removing the screws holding the main windows and doors onto the side of the mobile home. 

With the ladder placed on the deck, I was able to see the top of the trailer and discovered the Wooden structure built to shelter the mobile from snow and trees(?) had settled down onto the trailer roof and

there is no way the trailer could be pulled out.  I am not sure how we will remove the trailer.

Listening to news reports, there must have been a wind storm out here last week.  There is no trace of the No Trespassing sign I had wired to my gate. 

I had to cut up a sapling that had fallen across the drive and there is another tree that would have fallen across the road if it hadn't been held by another tree.  I will need to figure out how to remove that tree before it becomes a danger.

Another large tree, in an area I am thinking of building a cabin,  snapped in the wind and there is a good 40 foot section laying across the trail.

I will need to be cognizant of "widow makers"
