We'll have to ask Mimi if Mango attracts flies. Yes, I had lots of plans for the outside of 103 Grove like restoring the pergola, spire, barge boards and pendant and adding a bay window eat-in, in the kitchen. An improved rear entry, garage, and car park area. I get did get rid of the blue shutters though. Too storybook for me. The gloss yellow on the stucco was sprayed on there very thick by a previous painter. Not sure we can afford the Grove anymore but with a grandchild on the way, we may wish we could. Love your cat door. Does it have a flipper door? I designed one at the bottom of the steps in our basement there but had trouble getting some of the cats to use it. Ever get a racoon coming in? I would need to insulate an outside one well if I did one here in Iowa. Has anything happened to the abandoned house on Macauley? T.
