The next day we continued to work on the downstairs. We've been sanding drywall down there so it was dusty. There is carpet down there so all the dust collected in the carpet. My in-laws have been helping us and decided to shop vac. Which is great! Only the day before I cleaned house. I swept, mopped, dusted, did laundry and dishes, and cleaned whatever else needed it. The day we worked on the downstairs was pretty hot. I didn't want to turn on the ac yet so I just opened all the windows and turned the attic fan on. Shortly after, I walked out to the dining room and noticed a cloud of dust in the air. Oh no, the fan was bringing all the dust up from downstairs while they were vacuuming. Needless to say the floors, counters, table, and everything on the surfaces were covered in dust! I can't just leave Cora for a whole day again to clean, so I've been trying to get caught up on house work this week.
As for Cora, she has been very clinging and fussy the last couple weeks. So it's hard to keep her happy while not holding her. The plus on this is we've been spending more time outside. She loves it! Downside is I haven't been able to use my sewing machine, well I have, I just can't finish anything! I'm also trying to finish my on-line classes. And Joel and I are starting the P90x. We both want to get in better shape and just be healthier all around. I have to say that I haven't had a Dr. Pepper in a month now. But I didn't realize that I've been supplementing my caffeine intake with more coffee. So I didn't have any coffee today. I didn't make it half-way through the day without having a headache. So, another goal to add to my list is cutting back on caffeine. Hmmph.
So here are some before pictures of our downstairs. I will post when we finish everything down there. We just finished priming. Next, is finishing touches such as painting, trim work, and re-doing the bar. Hopefully not too much longer! Although anything is better than this:
