Progress

Well it has been a while since our "day of rest" and there has been progress made. More old cabinets have been removed and part of the ceiling has come down. Michael, Jake & Chris took down as many of the ceiling joists that supported the dropped ceiling as they could without dealing with the electrical at this point. Now Michael can continue pulling down the original old ceiling....what a mess that makes! He decided he didn't want to do it with the kids and Bogie there because of all the nasty dust it makes. Even with a mask on it chokes him up. He bought a better one for the next round. Hopefully that will make a difference in how he feels when the dust settles. I'm headed to the dump today to empty my back end (tee-hee, wish it was that easy). I'm sure by the time the boys and I return from Florida it will be more than ready to be emptied again.

We did manage to find some old door pins at a vintage shop to get the door up between the dining room and living room. It really looks neat to have them up. Cooking some old hinges we found too to get all the old paint and such off of them so we can hopefully get the door up between the kitchen and dining. All in hopes of keeping the dust from filtering throughout the house. I'm thinking if we stop trying to dust all the time, maybe we'll reach that level of dust that no more will stick...kind of like in your car...seems like the dashboard reaches a level of dustiness and then never gets any worse. Its a thought anyway.
