Cleaning can be Poop

The other day I decided while I am waiting to get the electricity turned on in my building next (door which I will talk about later) so I can have electric tools to do some basic things.  While I have been waiting on the city to do a inspection for electrical I decided to clean poop.  I will tell you that a pigeon can screw up anything and pooping on a alter is wrong in so many ways.  It does not smell as such as it just is gross. 

A little cleaner and a scraper with a lot of paper towels and nice gloves I scraped the poop and scraped then towel cleaned over and over.  The alter is about 12 feet high and so this took quite a while but when I was done it was completely clean.  The alter has some damage as you can see from Katrina when the back wall above the roof line caved in a section of brick 10 x20 feet long with all the bricks falling onto the alter area, thus the damage.  The wall was sealed back but some of the wood was damaged.  I will have to hand carve the pieces to replace the parts that broke.  I will be using the alter as part of the kitchen and most likely will be using the style of the alter to create all the cabinets in the kitchen (much later).  Anyway, after cleaning for hours I got it to a place I am comfortable with until it can be re-finished in the proper way and matched up with the custom designed cabinets.

Wrapped up in plastic and waiting for its future use.
