A dirty job.

One of the most memorable jobs we had walk into the loft was a set of vinyl walls for some yurts deep in the valley above Waikapu. They were won in a card game and had been sitting under the previous owner's house for years most likely and they had been chewed on by rats. Our task was to patch the holes and replace the damaged screens but it was by far the dirtiest job we've had to do. Even after cleaning them, the yurt walls smelled like rat urine and mold. It was a struggle to push the large vinyl pieces through the sewing machine as well because they tended to grip and stick to the floor. by the end of the day it was a sweaty stinking mess but it was well worth it because the customer was a nice lady and it was good for a laugh.
