Bored and Cleaning

Dad has kept us busy cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. We have been glad dad goes to work everyday so we could have a break. And it was nice to have to take the kids to the park for swimming lessons, so I wouldn't have to clean, clean, clean. Are you getting the picture that we have been cleaning? Not just cleaning, but scrubbing, polishing, and disinfecting. We put the house up for sale this week. Just stuck the sign up on the front lawn, and now we need to advertise. I will have to get to that this upcoming week. It really seemed sad the first day to see a for sale sign on our front lawn. Now it doesn't bother me in the least. I took pictures of both the inside and outside of the house so we will have those for advertising, but I won't bore you with those as you have seen this house. But it is exceptionally clean. I do need to do the outer windows, but I even cleaned the window sill tracks. Well, enough about that boring stuff. Except we did go over to the new house and clean there too. We just went through the throw away pile and pulled out the good enough to make shelves wood and carried it to the back of the lot. We figured we paid for the wood already, why not put it to use later. Then we also cleaned up a bunch of junk that has been sitting around and began sweeping, but that is really a lost cause until we get all the windows and doors in. Speaking of which, some of the windows are in, and the shingles were begun to be put on today. Our builder is really good and didn't want just some old cheapy shingles on our roof, but the roofing company didn't have 40 year shingles in stock, so we ended up with 50 year shingles. So that is really good. Ken really likes to keep a tight schedule. Here are the latest pictures taken just today. The front of the house, the back of the house, and beginning to shingle.
