Work continues

lisa July 7th, 2003

This past weekend, we went to two cookouts and a bluegrass show, and did some hard labor. Cleaned up all the brick from the old fireplace that was in the driveway - sorted out the whole bricks for later use in a pathway and tossed the broken stuff into the dumpster. That was a three hour job. Then Sunday we demolished the northeast bedroom and took out all the old horsehair plaster. We had to rig up a chute out of the window into the wheelbarrow, which was complicated. And it was so hot all weekend that doing physical labor wasn’t easy - had to keep hydrated and carefully monitor ourselves.

We’ve hired Mark’s friend Seth and Seth’s partner John to work on the porch. With a little loan from Mark’s stepmother to cover our shortfall, we should be finished with that in a couple of weeks. Then we will try to refinance.

There are a few new pictures in the gallery.
