I've finally realized why Europeans have no screens. The wasps are still getting in, so I've started leaving one window open and screenless, and the wasps find their way out.
I'll have to watch my jungle of houseplants for pests, but it's been worth it thus far.
Two asides...
Damn, 1ajs, your reno life in the north is my personal nightmare.
jeddy1989 and his husband are still stuck in Portugal because their immigrant-related appointments were delayed. They can't come home for the summer or they won't be able to get back. But, the aside for me, BOTH of them HATE Portuguese good. I love it, my parents love it. Dad still raves about the cod dishes and chowders he had there. But these two guys are just disgusting. "It's flavourless. Spicy to them is a pinch of salt. I've never had blander food. Everything tastes exactly the same, like chewing cardboard." lol I don't get it. I've always loved it, and I have decent spice tolerance for a white guy. I can't eat pizza without hot sauce, for example. Prefer the green stuff, Cholula is my fave. The pineapple curry ones that are at every Canadian grocery, the yellow ones, those are ALWAYS WAY too hot for me. So my tolerance is somewhere in between those two.
And third aside... some of the neighbours (in addition to the guy I mentioned previously) clearly know who I am, and likely from this site. I might have to delete my profile here and move lol
