Now that the basement remediation has wrapped up, the two of us are down there fixing everything that was done wrong, or at least not up to our standards. We hope to have all the repairs to the repairs done this week, before the new carpet arrives. There’s nothing like a good project.

In other news, a very large hawk needed shooing from the garage today, which for everyone was a bit scary. We think it swooped in in pursuit of a bird but then got disoriented. Fortunately for it and us, it was, unlike a cardinal several years ago, smart enough to finally swoop out. Many birds won’t go down in order to fly up, to freedom.
