Dad/Grandpa update from September 4th and 6th

As many of you know we are selling dad/grandpa's house and decided to list it with a Realtor to help do this since we can not be down there to show it to any potential buyers.  There are still many tings that we need to accomplish to get the house completed for someone to buy it and could use all the help we can get.  We would love to be able to be finished with things by the end of the month but this can only happen if we have enough help.  We can accomplish so much more when we have more people since everyone can work on different projects all at the same time.

September 4
Scott, Susan, Craig, Linda, Jared, Leila, Corrine, Allison, and Oscar all came down today to finish emptying the furniture from the house.  Leila brought down her trailer so that we could fill it up with the last of the furniture and miscellaneous items.   We met with the Realtor today to answer any questions we had about his company.  Corrine and Jared drug all of the branches, from tree that were cut down a few weeks ago, to the dumpster.
Linda, Jared, Corrine, and Allison were able to paint the two front bedrooms today.  Things look much better with a new coat of paint to freshen things up.

Craig was able to begin working on the bathroom plumbing today.  He fixed the floor and got it ready for the new bath tub.  They were able to bring in a new bathtub to install and set into place.  This is going to take multiple days but things are now progressing and it will be fun to see how this moves along.

Here is what the bathroom looked like this morning, everything was taken out down to the studs.  Now we get to put everything back.

Leila, and Susan packed up and cleaned out everything in the kitchen and family room. Scott cleaned up many things and was able to fill his entire truck once again and take away tons of stuff.  Oscar made it down and helped by cutting down the grapevine in the back yard, moving tons of furniture, and many other items.

Thanks again for everyone's help today!

September 6

Scott, Craig, Linda, Mindy, Jared, Susan, and Allison all came back down today, Monday (labor day) to work on more items to be done.  We were ale to put tons of stuff into the dumpster and filled it up once again.  We will need more help one day to fill it up once more with all of the things that are still in the garage and around the yard.  Craig was able to move along with the bathroom and got more of the plumbing finished.
We pulled all of the wallpaper off the walls in the living room and ran into the same problem that we had when painting the dining room.  We will have to scrape all of the layers of paper and the first layer of paint off the wall.  The problem that happens is that if you paint over the top of everything then the paint bubbles up and peels back off in one large sheet.  This room is going to take some work. 
We were able to paint all the walls in the family room today, things look much better today with that new coat of paint.  The ceiling will have to be finished another day.

Susan and I spent the rest of the afternoon evening just cleaning up everywhere so things looked nice anytime the Realtor needed to come by with potential buyers.
