Joyce and her mom and dad have been keeping busy working on our house. At the same time our neighbors ripped out the fence between us on one side of our house and put in a better one. I reported last week on how things were going so I thought I would give you an update. It looks like the fence is pretty close to done. A lot of Joyce's trees and plants had to be ripped out so she is already working on some new ones. As you can see from the picture it already looks pretty good and I know that soon the plants will be as big as the ones we ripped out.
On the other side of the house the enclosing of the laundry room continues. Joyce and her dad have been laying one row of bricks every day. Now they have one more full row to go. They should be done with the block by the end of the week. Joyce is having a great time pouring the concrete into the blocks while she is up high on the scaffold. I was a little concerned about her back with all this, but she says that when she woke up Saturday her back pain was gone. She is certainly getting around a lot better.
We found one surprise in the roof supports of the laundry room. This very large centipede had made its home up there. Joyce removed it on the broom after taking its picture. We think these things are poisonous but we don't know for sure. It's gone now, but you never know what little beasties you are going to encounter here.
