More Basement Work

The kids and some friends helped to tear out a wall in the basement. They sure enjoy the messy, destructive work. Hopefully not too much longer before we begin putting things back together! Unfortunately, with the school year fast approaching, we won't have as much time to work. Though it still makes for good weekend therapy.

Just a couple photos to see the progress!

Floor Scraping

As if I didn't have enough scraping to do on the walls, I've also spent a great deal of time scraping the floor. We found the glue under the tar paper was water soluble so after soaking a section with wet towels each night I spent the next morning scraping the gooey mess. I got the last of it done just in time for the 4th of July. The wood floors are all exposed and ready for sanding though we'll probably wait until we've finished the ceiling and walls.
