Our Home Renovation

Last night, Jay and I were standing in the back yard talking and I saw a raccoon in the window of the Sheridan House - inside. We ran inside to see what was going on and sure enough, there was a raccoon in the second bedroom.

Jay tried feeding it a day old hot dog, but the raccoon just wanted to get out. We were about to call animal control when it finally got the screen in the back window pushed out far enough to escape. We’re pretty sure he got in earlier in the day and was in the basement hiding until there wasn’t anyone in the house and he wandered upstairs looking for a way out. It was quite exciting.

In other news, things are really coming together on the house. When I mentioned recently that we were going to be “stepping things up,” I didn’t quite know what I meant by that. Now I do - we’ve been starting between 7:30 and 9:00 am every day and finishing anywhere from 12:30 to 2:30 am. Hence the reason that you haven’t heard much from me this past week. I don’t expect things to slow down for at least a few more days, although I am taking one day off of the house this week - I won’t go to the Sheridan House at all. I can’t remember when the last day was that I wasn’t there.
