No eviction necessary

Nick and his dad went up into the attic space to see if the squirrel family would kindly leave. However, there were no squirrels to be found! We are thinking the squirrel nest we saw is inbetween the original house and the newer addition which is only a part of the eaves but provides no access to the attic. We will definitely want to close up the area but luckily there are no squirrelies living in our attic!

Long overdue!

We have a lot of updates coming! We will elaborate later because there have been tons of changes at Winifred! We have been busy, busy, busy! We even took our first vacation away from Winifred Manor and had a Labor Day barbeque for all of our friends!

We have done tons of gardening, the tomatoes are in full bloom and have produced over seven batches of salsa and spaghetti sauce and a pound of blanched tomatoes that we froze for the winter. I also did a ton of weeding and gardening and lopping of some of the overgrown trees.

Nick has been installing brand new hardware on all of the cabinets, the guest room actually has a door now and we installed a new light in the kitchen!

We finally got our homeowners credit. Now we are also preparing to get our new furnace, a driveway and to clean out the basement.

We also have been having some pest issues, namely mice (RIP Gus), but have eliminated the problem with a new footboard in our mudroom. Out next pest task is evicting a family (I assume it is a family, but maybe it is just one) of squirrels from our attic. Which hopefully does not end in hilarity or rabies shots. We will just have to see!
