Progress

The sky from the backyard at 4:14 PM:



We still have a long way to go until the days are a reasonable length again, but it's heartening to know that the amount of daylight will increase steadily for the next five and a half months.

In other news, Kevin got the horrid light fixture down and patched the walls!



There are still several rounds of spackle to go, but it's already a vast improvement.

And the gramma is now swimming around the tank, though he cuts his explorations short the moment that he realizes someone else is in the room. This was his hiding spot for the first few days, tucked up against the bottom of the tank next to this big piece of PVC.



He's since found a much less visible spot, so I'm glad that I got this picture even if it's not the best angle.
