Schoolies amongst the seals in Salem Harbor yesterday morning.....

Full day today working on our kitchen remodel, after a 12 day hiatus due to other work commitments. We sold the slide in stove this week. It is getting old being without a sink, etc, as I gutted it about a month ago. So the plan for today was to finish framing soffit, board up last five feet and get the finish mud work done. But as I climbed up the step ladder for the first time, my tape measure brushed up against the vaulted ceiling. And went right through it.... Turns out we have had a honey bee nest behind the ceiling and wall! They had somehow turned the sheetrock into paper as they built their nest and the only thing between us and them was the coats of paint!!! No bees found, not even dead ones. But resulted in more unplanned demo and rebuilding. All boarded up now, including the last of the soffit. But I am not going to be skim coating tonight.
