Cleaning Day 14 & 15

     On day 14 Nathaniel put in one window. I pulled some tacks out of the floor, but did not get far, because at the time I did not realize that the pliers I had been using was not sufficient for the job. It was a short day, but we did manage to bring up another van load.

    On day 15 we spent nearly the entire day there. We arrived just before noon, ate lunch, and jumped right in. While I fixed lunch, Nathaniel and Bobby unloaded another van load into the chicken barn and then joined me. It was a long day, but we got a lot done.
     Nathaniel put in 4 windows. It was a tough job, and took the whole time we was there, but he did a good job. After finding another pare of pliers, I was able to pull all the tacks from the floor in Bobby's room. I also removed the light fixture, swept and mopped. His room is totally ready to paint, and put the flooring in. I closed the door to prevent things from being put in there, and to keep dust from other parts of the house getting in. It was nice to mark one whole room as ready to paint.
     To finish up, I cleaned out the terrible nasty drawers in the kitchen. While Nathaniel caulked the last couple windows he put in, I cleaned up the work sight as much as I could, and we left sometime after 8 pm. It was a full days work, but we felt pretty good about how much we got done.
     We are still waiting for 4 replacement windows. That is holding us up on both ends of the house. We are wanting these in before starting the painting project. Since these windows are part of a group of windows, they have to go in all at the same time for trimming and things like that. We are hoping they come in within the next couple days.
