Well, the victory over the wheat bugs was not complete. We have discovered that a few little worms have been setting up shop in the upper creases and corners of the pantry, and that they eventually become our aggravating quarry. I have dispatched with as many of the worms as I have found over the last several weeks, but at least two of them have escaped destruction. Also, one evening last week, I discovered a full-grown flier, and promptly wiped him out. But still, compared to the previous two years, one fully developed bug and 15 or so pupal worms in the last six weeks is tremendously preferable.
Also, the powder room remains as unfinished as before. Well, I think I had previously said a couple of minor things remained. At this point, the ceiling needs a new coat of Behr ultra pure white paint, and I need to install the quarter-round along the baseboards. Also, Bravo, not knowing his own strength, tore the towel ring next to the sink out of the wall, so I know need to repair that damage and reinstall the ring. But I haven't done anything with it in 2008. My Saturdays have been disrupted by the local youth recreational basketball leagues. Those end on the 23rd, and then I am free to spend my Saturday mornings on my home improvement projects. Woo-hoo!
