Starting to be finished

Starting to look like a house...not a construction zone.  In the past three days I've done at least 20 loads of laundry and thoroughly cleaned 5 rooms. Our kitchen may not have ever been this clean.  The painters covered everything and cleaned as they went and when they finished, but there's still a fine layer everywhere that we're washing off so Margot ingests less.  Harris spent the weekend replacing the porch flooring and rot at the Little House

Things left in the house

When we bought the house it came furnished! We spent a pretty significant amount of time cleaning out trash and sorting through various layers of furniture - what could be given away, what few things we wanted to keep, what looked cool but really was broken trash... We put A LOT of bedframes in the summer kitchen to be dealt with later as we cleaned everything and found all the pieces. Since the plaster repair is progressing and we needed to clean out the upstairs where we've been storing the extra wood flooring, we had to clean out the summer kitchen this weekend. I think we found 10 complete headboards and footboards and decided to keep the two Jenny Lind and two metal frames.  Harris spent yesterday making benches out of the rest of them. These will be painted, cushions added, and we'll have seats for inside or outside depending on mood. He might sell a couple if we end up with many extras. Now to get the flooring from the upstairs and neatly stack it in the summer...
