Kumquat turns 39 Weeks

Kumquat made it to week 39! We're very proud of how cooperative he is being - he seems to be trying hard to help Carlos keep working on House II. But it's unlikely that the result will change given that Carlos asked recently: "what constitutes the house being done?...does it need to have electricity?" hmmm - good question...With one week remaining House II probably won't be quite ready...So in the meantime Carlos and I are doing our version of nesting: tearing apart House I!!

We've been spackling, plastering, repainting and re-spackling, re-plastering and re-repainting. Classic. Carlos has also been fighting with the back fence door which is not cooperating. The good news about that is that he finally put on the tool belt I got him. The bad news is he filled it with Negro Modelo which might be one reason for the fence gate was not cooperating... And somehow the house looks more disheveled than when we started!


My not-so-beauty sleep is getting a little less comfortable these days as my lower back hurts, but other than that I feel good. As for Carlos - when he isn't preoccupied with thoughts of refinancing he likes to poke Kumquat and watch him squirm.
