Day 9
by on Feb.09, 2009, under Uncategorized
Wow, talk about making progress. We really made a lot of headway today. Unfortunately I left the camera over at the house so I can’t post any pictures (I’ll post them tomorrow) but trust me we got some awesome work done. And I mean Awesome! Mom and Myrna used this stuff we got at the 99cents only store called awesome. This stuff rocks. You should definitely check it out. Estela’s mom also used it to get some nasty grease off the walls. There was grease all over the kitchen. I think the previous people fried everything. There was grease on the ceiling!!! Wow! But anyways, that Awesome stuff worked like crazy. Our cabinets look like different cabinets. I thought they were yellow, but turns out they are actually white! Who knew?
In addition to that, mom and dad took the stove apart and cleaned it so good, it looks brand new. I’m telling you, It’s Awesome! We pulled the toilet and sink in the main bathroom and tore out the rest of the infected walls. No more bio-hazard, yay!!! We read on the F.E.M.A. site and a few others to wash all of the infection off the wood and studs with water and laundry detergent then treat the wood with a bleach and water mix, so we scrubbed what is left of the bathroom and sprayed it down with Clorox and water. It’s Awesome to see clean wood and drywall in the bathroom. I can’t wait to get new cement board in there and install the new bathtub surround.
Estela and Myrna got the master bedroom painting done. We love glossy paint! Tony got a lot more work done on the plumbing problem in the front yard. Today was a family affair. We had both sets of parents, Myrna, Ron Jr., Brandon, Estela and Me all working today. We miss you Ron Sr.! I wanna give a shout out to my brother Ron. He’s in the Navy and currently deployed till August. He wanted to help out but we didn’t get the house until after he shipped out. But, we’ve been putting his Ford F-150 to work at least. Everybody thank someone in the armed forces. We love you Ron!
Well, I know we got more done, but I’m wiped and need to crash. Thanks for checking in, we’ll post ya later.
Peace
