(or, Some Progress is Being Made<\/strong><\/em>)<\/p>\n

Just a quick update about the ongoing museum renovation project. It is a struggle, and there are steps forward and steps back, but progress is being made. \u00a0Almost no sign of vermin<\/strong> of any kind for a few weeks now, so I thought I’d share this puzzle.<\/p>\n

Here are two photos showing a view from a bedroom<\/strong> window<\/strong> across our yard, looking toward a neighbor’s house.<\/p>\n

Can you spot the differences<\/strong> between these two photos?<\/p>\n

Here’s the first photo<\/strong>, taken when we moved in about seven weeks ago:<\/p>\n

Here is the second photo<\/strong>, taken today:<\/p>\n

SPOILERS PAST HERE!<\/p>\n

Here are the differences I can find:<\/p>\n

1. The window glass<\/strong> has been replaced with genuine antique window glass taken from salvage.<\/p>\n

2. The roof<\/strong> has been replaced with an asphalt roof.<\/p>\n

3. The roof vent<\/strong> (which was smashed, but you can’t tell really in this photo) has been replaced.<\/p>\n

4. The roof is not covered with garbage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

5. The rain gutters<\/strong> have been replaced (they are not smashed).<\/p>\n

6. There is a new apple tree.<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. There is a new white oak.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. There is a new locust tree.<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. The seasons<\/strong> have changed (deciduous trees are now bare). We did not change the seasons. We take no credit<\/strong> for the changing of the seasons.<\/p>\n

10. The\u00a0lawn<\/strong>\u00a0is not dead. We take no credit<\/strong> for watering the lawn, as we didn’t. See #9.<\/p>\n

Of course, as I look at this, I’m thinking: “That crappy protruding PVC sewer line vent<\/strong> still needs to be cut. \u00a0Grrrrr.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
