The rear gable was also uncovered and more asbestos has been removed:

Also removed a lot of asbestos from the side of the house. I had Fernando remove most of the aluminum from the side since there are a lot of solitary wasps that live underneath it. One of the bastards stung Fernando on the upper arm, but better him than me since I'm allergic to them.

It's hurricane season. Are your windows secure?
