Diverter

In the “things I did not realize” department: a kickspace heater is so efficient at extracting heat from heating pipes that if you ran all the hot water through it, nothing downstream would get any heat. So they have to use a diverter tee to send only some of the water through.

Birds

We went for a walk in the woods today, and this time I brought the wildlife lens.  So where do I get the best shots of the day? Back home, off the front porch, of course!  These are Palm Warblers.

Bonus picture: Cardinal in the neighbor’s dogwood tree. I like this photo too much not to share it.

Beaming

Our contractor installed the beam allowing removal of the old closet wall today, shown here still surrounded by its temporary supporting walls.  This thing is absolutely enormous in comparison with the 120-year-old lumber surrounding it.
