Another remarkable and outrageously fun and creative FIRST for us at The Surgeon’s House was a murder mystery conducted by the group of guests that were staying!

We really put on our Big Girl panties this week with master plumber Bob finishing running the water and gas lines and making all hook-ups ready for us.

We have been pretty diligent albeit plodding in our repair of the garden garage but finishing the painting and minor stucco repairs led to far more visible progress a couple of days down the road.

Our weekly trek to the Food Bank yielded slim pickin’s other than a plethora of mini cucumbers. Doesn’t it just speak pickles to everyone?

While it doesn’t look like much progress, we re-worked the damaged upper edge of the roof after removing the paradise trees that had caused the damage, finished re-stuccoing that outside wall, and then made the minor roof repairs required and laid new roofing material.
