We started the weekend with quite the ambitious TO DO list. It’s now Sunday night and boy did we get a lot done!!

So lets see where we ended up:

Upstairs

Overall

• Get rid of sawdust – Postponed. We have to sand joint compound, which will just make more dust, so we’re waiting.
• Vacuum & wipe down ALL the walls, trims, moldings, bathrooms, etc… – Ditto above
• Clean Kitchen (I’m pretty sure the freezer is growing a lovely green carpet inside.) {{and I just threw up a little in my mouth.}} Done!! And what a project this was. We have the best mothers ever.
  

Master bedroom

• Re-secure plaster to wall – In progress. Long story short, the plaster was so bad it couldn’t be repaired. Had to remove it & install drywall. I have pictures.
• Spackle, tape, etc. – Also in progress.

Master bedroom walk-in closet

• Re-secure plaster to wall – Done!
  
• Spackle, tape, etc. – In progress. Need to do a few more coats of joint compounding.

While we didn’t get everything on the list done, we made a lot of amazing progress. Our family & friends really came through and worked so hard. We’d never be as far along as we are without them. We’re so grateful for their help.
