We've had a busy but mostly fun month doing a variety of house chores. Lots of window work ... I counted a total of 87 windows! We replaced 10 of the 38 big (> 3') double pane windows which were fogged due to broken seals. It took a variety of ladder configurations, but I also got most of the windows cleaned:
Helen did some forest maintenance:
And we got the Utah Buddah's re-employed to watch over things:
Buddah Trough the Looking Glass (one of Helen's round deck hanging crystals):
The Fall weather and leaves have been wonderful:
Helen did a couple of Arts projects. This one used fabric samples from a couch we never bought:
This one re-constituted a chandelier using crystals that they brought over from Russia:
One of my tasks was to plug these holes in our outdoor wood beams. Care to guess who makes them?
Not this guy. His job is to eat bugs:
Like these guys:
This guy is the author of that perfectly round hole, a carpenter bee. I learned they can make extravagant tunnels in wood, with the only sign being a perfectly round hole like the above:
They have powerful jaws to chew through wood:

This box has the last project for this month:
Doggy thought it was a new chew toy:
He was disappointed to learn it was a king sized bed:
We spent 6 hours putting it together:
It was worth it ... much more comfortable then the round futon bed:

Lastly, I did another geek video on house voice control. It starts off with a quick walk-through of the house:
