Bathrooms (cont.)
Counters and sinks are in (actually the sinks and counters are all one unit). The plumbing is almost complete. And when we (and it looks as if Nicki and I will be doing this job) get the painting done lights and trim can be finished. I see the light at the end of the tunnel...

Morning Visitor
A hawk checked out our bird feeders during breakfast this morning. We're not sure but we suspect he/she was looking for mice or moles. Seemed to be very curious about the camera shutter sound. Anyone identify the type of hawk?

The work continues. Cabinets are in. The walls are ready for painting. Maybe one more week?

Burning River
Saturday Nicki and I went to the Burning River Festival on Whiskey Island not very far from downtown Cleveland and on the shore of Lake Erie. There were a lot of environmentally friendly exhibits. But we spent the most time talking to an eagle from the Cleveland Natural History Museum. Since we were so close to Cleveland we did dinner at the Great Lakes Brewing Company - one of our favorites. Really nice afternoon and evening. Nice to get away.

Bathrooms (cont.)
Keeping everyone up-to-date on the bathroom construction. I've added a few photos showing what has been done over the past week. The good thing is that I'm getting into a good getting-up-for-school routine. That was okay last week as I was having my tech workshops starting at 8:00 AM. And this week I'll have an opportunity to get a little ahead with the school tech work as I'll be forced to rise and shine earlier than I would have voluntarily chosen. Even Nicki is starting to get weary of trips to Home Depot and Lowes - closed them both down last Thursday evening. They do stay open until 10:00 PM in case you need to know.

Eagle
Yup, that's an eagle. One of several Nicki and I observed at the Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserv. For the fuller story go to Kayaking Across America or for the rest of the photos click on the eagle above.
Bathroom Renovation Progress
Work has begun on two of our bathrooms. I'm experimenting with a new photo service by Google (Picasa for Macs). Just click on the above photo to take you to an album of bathroom photos. The photo above shows Sam inspecting the work. She is looking at a hole in the floor where the linen closet once was. She can see the stairway going to the floor below. The photo is better in the album. I think the dogs are a bit perplexed by this whole process. It doesn't disturb their nap schedule but I don't think they see the sense in events.
