Day 88

Mom and Dad left a bit before the rest of us. Before we got there, Dad had gotten all of the lathe off of the wall behind the toilet and he had sprayed the bees - really well. After they felt safe to go back in the room they could no longer hear the bees. We are sure that not all of them were killed, but we are getting closer. They then started cleaning the walls in the kitchen and the back hallway. Mom brought up some paint that she had left over from painting her kitchen. She was planning on getting some of the rooms cleaned and painted while the guys worked on the bathroom.


Here is Mom up on the ladder painting the wall.


Clean, blue walls. :)

While Mom was painting, Andrea and I were cleaning the shelves and drawers and putting shelf liner on them.


Here is Andrea working on one of the shelves.


Here Dad is taking up the floor boards in the bathroom. We are going to have to put down a new floor in the bathroom as too much of if was damaged by water. (from the pipes and the radiators and leaks from the roof) We are going to use these good boards to replace the rotten boards over by the stairs. So Dad is carefully taking up the boards and removing the nails.


Philip and Jonathan are working out were the lights, outlets and switches are going to be in the bathroom.




Time to put up the sheetrock. :) No more outhouse for me.


The future site of the pedestal sink.


And now there is an outlet in the bathroom. It still isn't hooked up to the power but it will be soon. We decided to go with the brown outlets.


Here you can see the new wiring and the box for the light switch. We are almost ready to go.

As usual our day went by way to fast and it was time to stop. Mom got the kitchen painted and started down the stairs before she ran out of paint. Andrea and I got most of the cabinets cleaned and lined, but not quite finished. Jonathan got the wire in the bathroom and down through the first floor and into the basement and is ready to hook up the power to the bathroom. And Dad and Philip got about half of the sheetrock up in the bathroom. Then it was time to clean up and bit and call it a weekend.
