Days 11 - 13 aka Weekend 2

This weekend my parents came up (with Harley!) to help out. One of my best buddies Amanda also drove up to lend a hand. We are so grateful for everyone who has come up to lend a helping hand!

The tasks this weekend were: make a fence in the backyard to keep the dog in, clean up the additional room to allow the floor person in, and prime and paint the walls in the living room and dining room.

We waked into a HUGE mess left behind by Mark Loyal's (our GC's) workers. We were PISSED! Thank goodness he told us he would send someone in to clean it all up.

Mess in the backyard under the orange tree:


My dad and Andrew spent most of their day Saturday cutting up and breaking cement to create a ditch that a fence could be inserted into.

The new trench in the cement:


The men, digging:


The partially finished result!


The women were hard at work too:

Amanda, working hard:


Leave me alone!


Mom:



Just kidding. We actually pruned the trees, primed and painted fence posts and slats, and primed the living and dining rooms.

Painting the fence:


The plaster people patched the holes, which allowed me to get priming:



We ripped up the carpet and here is how it looks!





The happy (and exhausted) homeowners:
