This was the moment ... a core memory of sitting on the most disgusting carpet ... looking out these huge single pane windows ... watching Tony burn out of the driveway without even a word to us other than "keys are on the counter" .... we were left wondering what we had done.
I still feel a little nauseous when I look at this picture ... so many emotions ....
The red trim ... ugh ... the nasty carpet ....
That is sponge painted plywood walls ... and pretty sure original carpet ...
Carpet that is so disgusting ....
Oh the pink carpet and the yellow walls ....
Original orange carpet ... the smell in this house was awful ...
My sweet dad ... pushing a huge cart of flooring through Home Depot ... carpets were all ripped out in a morning by Marie and Zachary ... those 2 were gold! They did it so fast! (Nobody in my family were willing or allowed to touch such nasty carpet...we were happy to pay workers - and they were so fast!)
She completed the flooring in days ... super fast.
Moms project was removing the old blinds .... very helpful as they probably contributed to the smell ...
She is also our happy gardener!!!
Couple of gals ... armed with oven cleaner and a scrub brush ...
Meanwhile back at camp ... Chris is moving forward with new staff dining area ...
Nellie came for a visit and we did a dump run ... (my favorite)
And she helped me clean the kitchen!
Jolene and I prepping what to do with stairs ...
The stairs at Nitinat were a tough problem ... Carrie and dad tried to figure out how to best cover them ... they were difficult with the extra lip, in the end we painted and bought a runner ..
Furnace is working!!!
Turns out she is a beast with a staple gun .. no fear ...
We did it!! If i had my time back, I would have put the runner on the day before tenants moved in so they were clean and lovely!! Over all the renovations, they have gotten dirty ... but alas ...
