Good weekend, from a house standpoint. Patched the corner of the kitchen eaves where some home-wrecking squirrel had eaten a hole in the house; first covered everything up with aluminum flashing and then went back over the nail and screw holes with duct tape. It won't keep everything out, but hopefully most of the rain and dwelling-eating squirrels will be kept at bay. Spent a lot of time on the upstairs bathroom; the grout was bad and we want to be able to have people visit over the holidays, so I Dremeled out the old grout, washed everything down with Tilex and scouring gel, and got a new shower head. We'll wait for it to dry and then put in the new grout. Heather put in bulbs and various perennials, and I swept the porch. All in all, a good physical weekend, cleared my head for the last big push on getting the book done.
