Flight Of The Ladybugs

We closed in the barn with a temporary plywood front door and cranked up the pellet stove to make it downright comfortable inside. Comfortable enough for thousands of ladybugs to descend upon us! We dealt with a good half of the beasts thanks to a shop vac and some scaffolding, and the pellet stove popped a few like popcorn. It was an interesting Easter to say the least.

The ladybug scourge



A plague, on Easter?



The South end, with Zoe



Our hand-crafted front door



The inside of the door. As Mies van der Rohe said, "God is in the details."



Ah, the sound of crackling insects



A roughed-in central vac port



Our front shower wall is finally framed
