Alien Invasion and they aren't too bright at that...

So the alien reference is obvious.  But what is this about their intelligence.  For that we have a story.

 I'm driving back from the shop and pulling a U-turn at the Whipple intersection when my phone rings. It is Casey but I cannot answer the phone as I am in the truck making a very tight maneuver. I finished the turn and called him right back. It turns out he had locked himself in the bedroom while he was painting. Now to be fair, while he was in the bedroom the wind blew the door closed and there are no door handles.  Having a broken leg makes jumping out of a window a non-starter.  So I tell him I am on my way.  I get home and there is a Mercedes SUV in the driveway.  Not sure who it is but we have lots of visitors.  Turns out that Casey had called Annette when I did not answer and she called the next door neighbors.  They were on their way to the farmers market but turned around and rescued the poor boy.  

Obviously the texturing is complete and painting has begun.  Casey put on the primer and then did the finish coat yesterday.  Looks nice.  

Before that they were working trim.  The front of the house is almost done.  

With the painting done Casey will start the "lid" which normal people call a ceiling.  I can install plugs and switches.
