Bat in a Box

Our extended family paid another visit last week. We are slowly becoming more efficient at capturing and releasing the little buggers. Julie didn't even have to knock the bat, herself, or me unconscious catching this little guy. I've been working in the upstairs hallway with the attic door open a lot, so I assume he snuck in there at some point. He (or she) came swooping out of the bathroom as we came up for bed.
I took some time to play with my new pond last weekend and it's fully functional now. We migrated all of the fish into the new pond and I got rocks around about half of the pond. The skimmer, filter, and waterfall weir are all working, if not completely hidden. The fish seem happy and it's really nice to be able to sit on the lower deck and look out at the fish!
Progress is slow on the hallway, It's still all hand nailed, and I've got two more entrances taken care of. I've gotten the first diamond in, and two of the miter corners are all set. So all of the components are in, at long last.
