Holes

Hey look, I have absolutely no privacy whatsoever! Why is this man climbing into my garage (formerly studio) attic?

Two words..... Fire Sprinklers.

With this house addition the city has decided that we should also meet new city regulations that homes should be fitted with fire sprinklers which used to be just a standard for large business buildings, but now, apparently, things have changed.

Little holes can be found all over the house. Amazingly, the attic clearance is only three feet and these workers fit in there to feed pipe all through the walls....

Meanwhile, my entire house is saran wrapped to keep the dust off. It kind of reminds me of the scene in E.T. when NASA comes in to take E.T. from Elliot and the whole house is draped in plastic

.
Needless to say, it's very difficult to work under these conditions.

Lemme share a new painting that took me much longer than I had originally anticipated (I am still happy with it though)

Lastly, here is some REALLY amazing news. Sterling Publishing has given Tammi Sauer and I 100% support of our upcoming book "Chicken Dance" so much so that they gave us the cover of the Sterling Fall 2009 Catalog cover.

That along with an original song for a book contest and even POSTERS for book stores!

I'll let you all know more as things progress. For now, it's back to further adventures in the swiss cheese castle.
