Well, I have done a little in the last week... but not much. I started pulling dead bushes as the milkweeds reached the the eves of the first floor, and that is still consuming most of my time. I still hope to somehow finish this bird by the contest on the 16th, but do have a nice Jensen Ugly Stik I can lean on if I have too. Here are a couple pics I took yesterday. The belly pan is complete now also.

Cheers,

Blake
