Day 76

The kids and I went over to the new house this morning after Jonathan left for work. The girls were dusting and cleaning the floor in the Green room and the Tower room.



Zeb was helping me. I was taking up the old floor in the hallway. Zeb was filling up the buckets and carrying the rubble down to the dumpster. The floor at the top of the steps is in really bad shape. (Just like we thought) This is were the gutters are bad and pouring water against the house. So there was a lot of damage. The wood floor in the rest of the hallway looks pretty good though.


Here is the really bad part of the floor. :( Wow we are going to have to do something about this.

After Jonathan got home from work we had supper and headed back over to the house. Jonathan and I were working on the bathroom. We were taking down the wainscoting, and starting to knock down the plaster. We might be able to use some of the old wainscoting. A lot of it was damaged by water in some way. But we separated out the good and the bad. We are making progress but still have over half of the room yet to go. Then we have to work on the ceiling.


Here is a picture of the bathroom as we finished working for the night. I had mentioned to Jonathan that if we just knocked down the plaster but left the lathe it would look like we are going to the bathroom in an outhouse. :)
