Man's work


Wow! We had an incredibly busy day. We spent the first part of the day shopping for flooring and lighting. Then we headed to the lot around 2:00 this afternoon. Our goal was to really clean it up. It was COVERED with small scrap pieces of wood, nails, shingles, bags, trash, etc. It was to the point where it was difficult to walk. The task was so daunting at first that I didn't know how we could even begin. Yet we did...one piece of wood at a time. We started a burn pile and just kept piling it on. I was really surprised at the sheer amound of wasted wood there was. We worked non-stop until 8:00 this evening when it got too dark to see. I did a day's worth of "man's work"(hauling wood, digging in the dirt, etc.) I have several splinters to show for it. :)Our shingle guys did finish the job today. On Monday we should start the siding process (we are only siding the eaves and underneath side of the porches). Thursday our plumber comes. Here is a pic of our new shingles...they are a little hard to see.
