Week 3 and 4... Demo and "Quick, we need a garden."



This week we continued to take down the lath and plaster from the walls and ceiling in the back part of the house.  We began removing all the trim and moldings from the bedrooms as well.  We have a neighbor that came over to see what we were doing at the house.  His name is Mike and he lives alone just around the corner from us.  He began asking us how we were going to get the radiators out of the house and before we know it, he is lending us his "dolly" to help move them.

  


I felt like if I was going to get something planted this year, I better hurry and get it in the ground.  We dragged the old railroad ties from the back off the house to the back of the yard and created a garden spot.  The kids worked hard and pulled all the weeds, and we planted the seeds my mother gave me for jumbo pumpkins, and Jenna's cabbage that they give fourth graders.  

We have already filled one dumpster completely full, and so we had to have that emptied.  

We finished removing all the cabinets from the kitchen, and stacked them out in the garage for now.  Clay disconnected the radiators, and I helped him remove them all out to the drive way.  They are stinkin heavy and I'm not quite sure what I want to do with them.  I think it would be a shame to send them to the scrap yard.  I've got to come up with a good plan, or Clay is going to haul them off.
