What the!?!

Ever seen a cecropia silkworm? Me neither, until I spotted one making it's way up our maple tree today. Wild.

and then there's this.

As we go through the house room by room, we'll be removing all the plaster and lathe. Looks like the dining room thinks we aren't moving fast enough and decided to have it come crashing down on it's own.

Since we can't gut the dining room until we're done with the pantry and master bedroom, our plan is screw masonite to ceiling to hold the plaster up until D Day comes for this room. Hopefully it holds, fingers crossed.
