Some really decent rainfall overnight and into this morning.  Everything got a good soaking.  Just a quick walk around the neighborhood in between projects.  Another very productive day.  Will have a little lull next week but then back to it the first week in August.

Having to sequester the cats while contractors are here is my least favorite part of the morning.  But it's necessary for all our sanity (and safety) to do this.  Naboo dislikes having his hiding place decided for him.  Lots of treats are given, he grumbles a bit, then will acquiesce.  He's in a comfortable bedroom with everything the cats could possibly want - apart from the run of the house, of course.  When I open the door in the afternoon when the guys are gone both cats look at me like I'm disturbing them and what the hell do I want?  He'll do an inspection of the house with his sister Doyle, then settle back for a nap where I'd originally sequestered him. The door open, obviously.  Hilarious.

Hubby flying back from the UK today, won't be arriving at PDX until very late tonight, it'll be good to have him home for a couple days before the next trip...  

Tired.
