Catching Up

OK. This is a photo fueled ramble, pretty much in chronological order.

First, the establishing shot! Last fall, I got the patio cleaned up and the heavier bits of construction wood out of the elements.


Here's a random shot of Thumper campling out in the laundry basket. He has gotten calmer and more pet-like around me. I can approach, reach and scritch him with no downside. (Others can't - an elderly gentelman tested that out for us last week.) He's excited to see me when I come down in the morning/get home from work, and is generally more manageable. He still quivers, but less so than before.

We have become buddies.



Work is progressing on the walk-thru closet: 


Much more below the fold!






The three above show the exterior brick wall in various stages of being faced. There are  1"x2" furring strips fastened into the brick, to allow spacing fot the 1" foam board insulation. They also serve as attach points for the 1/2" drywall.  The other three walls will be skinned in 1/4" drywall.

Bit of a glam shot of Miss Missy!


The new cah.


Critters outside a customer's home...


...and nearby!




This was in someone's garden. I'm guessing it's a warning to the local Peter Rabbits.


Typical day at the office last Feburary.


Icecicle o' Doom!!


Missy waiting for a lift?


Couch and Thumper, pre-Spiring cleaning.


Couch, post cleaning. The debris all over the floor is what is left of Thump's doggie bed. Amazingly, the couch and pillows are holding up under the same assault much better than I had hoped.


What you don't see is the pound or so of kibble and dog treats I pulled out from around and under the cushions. I had stopped giving him the small bone-shaped treats, becauise an earlier search turned up mildewed treats. ( Dog slobber + nutrients + dark warm place...)

Thumper inspecting the new dog shield for the couch.


And it apparently meets with his approval.


In other news, things are beginning to happen with the garden.  More later!!

Miss Missy is truly beautiful. So fluffy!

Thumper is very handsome and looks right at home on the new couch cover.

The closet seems to be coming right along -- good work!!!
