the landlord says the door on the side will be installed soon, so i should be able to get that last area sealed and cleaned soon, too.
i need to buy a lot more tape as my next step - duct tape, packing tape, weatherproofing tape, aluminum tape - but it's going to need to wait until after i get my rdsp money transferred.
so, that's it.
i have a few more days of work to do before i can get into a month long shower and clean myself up back to normal. for today, the focus is on finishing the cleaning and getting in the shower.
