the wall is done

The wall is done and painted with a couple of coats of flat white.  Now we'll be able to return to completing the baseboard, window trim and step.

Meanwhile, over the last year an ant colony had formed under the patio.  Their activity resulted in several bricks dropping a half inch or so.  We treated it today and the activity has subsided (meaning, the ants are dead!)  We'll add some stone dust and reset the bricks so there will be a level surface once again.
