Artist’s statement: This stuff gets everywhere!

So there was exactly one non bearing wall in the basement that we were not going too tear out.

And then I figured out that the base plate had rotted almost through.

So now we have a new wall there too.

Drywallers show up on April 2, my shot list of stuff to deal with before then is disturbingly long…

At least, that’s what the calendar indicates we should be heading towards. The weather is not really on board with this idea though.

Snowed a lot this weekend. School was cancelled Monday through Wednesday, and Thursday through Monday are holiday days. So unexpected solid week and a half of no school.

Happily we had a trip with friends planned to an indoor water park for Friday; if we hadn’t, our last reserves of sanity might have slipped away, syphoned off by a certain bored 8 year old.

Thawing out the feeder or bringing it in for the night is an important part of the OMG snow in Seattle routine. Not sure what other food sources they have right now, if any; the amount of activity we see at the feeder in the morning seems to indicate hummingbird calories are pretty scarce right now.
