Osker helped Grandpa paint.  They didn't really want me to help because of my tail...

Three sides of the house are caulked and painted!  Only the south side (front) to go.

 Dad and Grandpa got the garage south gable, sided and painted!  We think this is the last job with scaffolding.

Grandma and Grandpa headed back east on the train. We'll miss Grandpa's help and Grandma's cookies!!

Both chickens are molting.  They no longer have tail feathers!!  Zambit looks really ugly.  Hopefully the new feathers grow in soon!

 Mom was getting all excited about the interior, but reality hit, and Dad and Grandpa convinced her to finish the outside before the rain starts.  So we finished the soffett, siding, caulking, and painting the north and east sides of the garage.

Then Grandpa and Mom finished siding the north side of the house.  Mom has it taped and caulked ready for paint.

Dad and Grandpa have finished the soffett on the south side of the garage and are working on the siding which includes lots of "tricky" cuts around the breezeway roof.

Chicken note:  Wonkette finally stopped brooding.  We put a blue ice pack in the nesting box!!  That stopped her from sitting there in one day!

 Grandma and Grandpa are visiting!  Grandpa is helping backroll paint. We got the garage side done, and have the first coat done in the house.  It's a  very subtle color, snow down.

Grandma feeds us cookies when we sit and are gentle.

Zambit has decided to become sociable.  She has been joining us for cocktail hour.  She likes Triscuits!!
