First thing on today’s agenda was hammering down hundreds of metal plates over the wires along the second floor so the tongue and groove flooring could be put back in place. Dave pitched in and helped so that it would move along a little faster…this time, unlike the caulking incident, Miguel seemed happy for the help. 🙂
-
- Miguel is very happy to have Dave’s help on this one
-
- Dave tapping away at the metal wire covers
-
- Mr. Lipham pitches in to help as well
-
- tedious work to say the least!
-
- almost there!
Once the wiring issue was taken care of, it was onto the windows!
-
- bringing up one of the windows from the basement
-
- up the stairs they go
-
- over to the breakfast area
-
- getting ready to hoist it up to the second floor
-
- ready…steady…
-
- lift…
-
- Mr. Lipham, Carlos and Raymond hand it off to Miguel and Nelson on the second floor
-
- and it’s in
-
- here it is from the outside
-
- on to the breakfast room window
-
- and the kitchen window
-
- on to the rear dormer windows
-
- guest room window
-
- front dormers are next
-
- est voila!
Max had come down with us and spent the first half of the morning working on homework. When it was time to clean up, we all pitched in…there was sawdust and wood scraps everywhere so I picked up the broom while Dave showed Max how to blow off the sawdust with a leaf blower. He was supper psyched when Mr. Lipham let him switch out our puny leaf blower for his giant one.
-
- Max checks out his room for the first time
-
- enough with the pictures, Mom
-
- Max uses our puny leaf blower to blow the sawdust out of the house and off the deck
-
- Mr. Lipham hands him his own…now THAT’s a leaf blower!
