Thinking we were going to have a great boating weekend

we went to Rowe with the idea that Sunday would

be the perfect day.

The overcast skies lead us to thinking about an indoor project

so we finished cleaning out the library and began working on the

physical cleanup of the ceiling and floor.

Bill and I took turns using the shop vac to take

off the big chunks of paint.

I have to tell you this wasn’t a lot of fun.

Cait goes up on Tuesday and Wednesday to spend her
time with a paint scraper on a ladder. She’ll have even less
fun, but she’s willing.

Next a little floor clean up to last us til next spring
when the entire floor will come out and the floor
joists (and maybe a sill) will be replaced. A wide pine floor
will go in the place of this one.
