Week 36

More progress this week!

Roofer!

It's hard to see in this photo, but there is now a strip of flashing all around the top of the wall, finishing off the last of the roofing work:

Bathroom! Not yet. Mr. Bunkport was going to come by to work on the bathroom, but the baby has a fever, so he stayed home to help out.

Instead, I took another crack at clearing out the yard. This pile of stuff was becoming home to some sort of critter(s) that Pickles is now barking at every night:

After:

Still waiting for Mr. Bunkport to take some stuff out of the garage before we can get everything back to normal in there, so these items remain. The tire will someday be a practice taiko drum for AJ. The wooden box on top of the metal shelf is this large planter (slightly taken apart) that we are going to put at the entrance to the yard, alongside the steps that lead down into the downstairs room. It will be planted with something tall that will act like a screen to give us some privacy when we're sitting on the deck outside that room.

In other news, the random yard-invading lily that the construction guys tried to save for us in Week 7 is actually coming back:

Lastly, preparations for Thanksgiving are beginning. Susie is getting a head start on some delicious cider. Here it is, staying comfortable under a towel:

Next week: Bathroom! Also, the mice found another way into the kitchen, so I'll be working on that, in addition to finishing up the back door.
