Painting, Cleaning and Critters

It was pretty rainy last weekend so we decided to

put some paint on the walls to see if red was really 

the way we wanted to go.  (Paul's wanted to do this

for weeks).

Bill did the cutting and Paul the rolling.

We only did one wall and decided to get the paint for

the rest.  With all the woodwork in the room it should

look great.

Later Bill called me out to see the porcupine eating the apples from 

the tree by the mill.  I brought a long lense but you could walk

right up to him while he was eating.  Must have been just too

yummy to care.

Even though the weather was still wet on Sunday the boys

decided to begin a cleanup detail.  Bill's doing one of his favorite 

things here.

Bill hauled away all of the wood that was too rotten to use while Paul

cut and split a maple that was taken down a couple of years ago.

Needless to say - he worked way harder than I think he anticipated

earlier in the day and slept in the truck on the way home. (Again).
