Here's the deal... John is selling a van that he has, the guy came to look at it and he's supposed to come back this evening with the money. This van has been used as storage since the new house went in. And unfortunately, the rats have made themselves at home in it.
John's in a hurry to get this cleaned out, because there's a big auction tomorrow that he wants to go to and he wants to have the money to buy stuff at the auction.
Now, I hate auctions because he insists on getting there an hour early, staying for the entire thing even if there's nothing he wants ("just in case"), and then usually making two or three trips back to pick up stuff that he's bought (usually requires coming back home to get the trailer to go pick up a car).
So what did I just do? I just went out and cleaned out most of the van, got rat poop all over me and a ton of sticky stuff that I can only assume is rat urine. I still have to clean out the rest of it, because John doesn't get home until 5 and the guy wants to come get it around then. We couldn't work on it last night because it was pouring rain.
But as I was cleaning I realized something... if it's not clean, the guy can't come get it tonight, which means John won't have the money, which means there's no point in going to the auction. And yet, I clean it anyway.
