Other than the break-in, there's not much to report. We've been working in the yard, trying to keep the very back of the yard from returning to the jungle that we hear it once was. Brandon cleared a lot of vines, and cut down some more small trees (privet is EVIL), and on Sunday we hauled a lot of them to the street (finally).
Our pending projects include putting attic/roof vents back in, and then adding more insulation to the attic (we have less than an inch of blown insulation up there right now!). On Friday, the alarm guy comes to add more glass break detectors.
Fall is off to a gorgeous beginning, however, and we've been trying to get screens in all the windows so we can leave them when we're at home. Hoping to get some screen doors soon as well. Gecko's been enjoying the open windows, although we had to nail in some of the screens so Fat Boy won't push them out when he stretches out on the window sills.
In other Gecko news, he seems to have acquired fleas from somewhere--we're guessing from his vet visit last month. He's been becoming friends with JB (Jet Black), the cat from next door, but they only see each other through the window glass. They've only had cat to cat contact through the screen once, and I don't think that was enough to transfer fleas. When I say friends, I mean, they spend a lot of time yowling and puffing up their fur at each other. Kinda like when you put a mirror up to a beta fish. Well, most of the puffing was on Gecko's part; JB seems more laid-back.
Exciting times, these :)
