I spent the whole day tearing off old Tyvek from the barn and caulking the cracks between the exterior sheathing. DuPont says Tyvek should be covered with siding within a few months of its installation. This has been on the barn, uncovered, for at least 8 years. New, one cannot tear it; as is, I can tear it into little pieces by hand.
Every so often today, my new friend, a common five-lined skink (Squamata suborder Sauria Eumeces fasciatus), would climb up the wall to see what I was doing. I couldn't get to my camera fast enough to catch him, so this is a picture I found on Wikipedia:
If I get a chance to photograph him myself, like when I'm not on a ladder with a caulking gun in my hand, I'll add a picture of my own.
