This Easter weekend we cleaned more nicotine out of the front hall (it took me 3 hours to get the fronthall closet doors cleaner), doorframes, and walls. Ward focused on the yard, and we all did a lot of leaf raking - the front yard looks somewhat cleaned up now. Ward also declared war on the groundhogs by dumping used catlitter in their holes (yes, YUCK...but definitely effective, we haven't seen them since) and stuffing the entrances and exits with used bricks that we had saved from the basement. Let's see if that will get rid of them...
Tree removal quotes for the three dead ash trees have been requested, and we made a start with getting wallpaper of the walls. Thankfully it is only a single layer, but definitely time consuming work!
Ward took on the daunting task of cleaning out the sliding bottom windows (oh... the dead insects :S)... what a difference!!
The kids were wonderful helpers. They carried bricks, collected branches, stuffed leaves into yard bags, and pulled wallpaper of the walls... all the while having great fun :)
