He's up on the wall re-pointing with lime mortar.

THE EXPERIMENT:

This is the front of the Federal Mansion in progress....for those who are not color-blind, I'm sure the oddity of the top level will jump out at you immediately. You might ask, "What the hell were they thinking using two different kinds of wood on the siding up there?" That's understandable. Here's what we were thinking: Rumor has it that cedar doesn't hold paint as well as pine. We wanted to test that. What if people have been cruelly slandering cedar all these years for no reason without even realizing it? Making it go to different drinking fountains and sit at the back of the truck for no reason but prejudice....wouldn't that be atrocious? We can't let the 'alleged' injustice go on! Reggie is doing an experiment on his house to compare the difference between cedar and pine...so, stay tuned and we'll let you know what the outcome is.

REGGIE TAUNTS BLOSSOM BY PRETENDING SHE CAN HAVE ONE OF OUR NEW BROCHURES:

Blossom thanks Reggie for being allowed to be near the brochures:

Meanwhile, in delusional jack-russel land: Blossom thinks she's a mink coat.....different kind of priceless. Much more wiggly, and much less valuable.
