We are just a normal family that desires to live as debt free as possible and be a blessing to others. This blog is about part of our journey to get there. Come often and view our progress as we take the plunge with our "dream" home. Oh, you may see it as a nightmare but sit back and watch as our dream becomes a reality. A reality where we can enjoy the company of those traveling through as they stop and enjoy a good nights rest and some old fashioned home cooking. If by chance you live in the area or are traveling through, stop in and see for yourself what we are doing as you sit a bit and enjoy a glass of sweet tea. If nothing else, just come often and watch as this dream of ours unfolds right before your very eyes.

operation demolation day 4

Well, we are getting somewhere.  The kids and I were there for about 6 hours yesterday.  We got all the floors cleaned up that were full of drywall and insulation.  They worked very hard.  We finally found the secret to getting it all out in a timely fashion.  I purchased 4 of the type of tubs that restaurants use to clean off tables with.  They are big enough to hold a lot and yet small enough to not be too heavy for the girls.  One of us stood outside the window while the other 2 filled the tubs on the inside and put them in the window for the outside person to dump in the dumpster. Kind of like an assembly line.  It worked great!  The girls worked very hard and we got all the floors cleaned up.  Jonathan finished the upstairs and tore the rest of the insulation down and the rest of the drywall.  On Thursday when we go we should be able to get that cleaned up and use the shop vac to vacuum the floors up there!  Then will come the nail pulling so new insulation and dry wall can go up.  Of course that will be after all the wiring has been run and the plumbing for the new bathroom is done.  Hummm....think we are a long way off!  LOL  Here are some photos from yesterday.  Too tired when I got home last night to upload them.  :-)

This is the girls room all cleaned up
