Clean up/Prep

Yesterday was clean up from construction and prep for equipment arrival.  The adults worked outside while the teens did an excellent job selling Christmas presents in the shop.  The dogs, well, they were more on the hinderance than helpful side of things.  Ok, it was mainly Claire that was not helpful.  She gets a little overly excited if she thinks there is a car trip involved.  And she thought that about 45 mins prior to pulling out of the driveway. 

There was plenty on the agenda yesterday:  Craig was finishing the handrail.  Tim was installing deadbolts.  Bill and I were determining what lumber was useable and what needed to go.  Bill moved rocks (we had no idea there were so many rocks in that seemingly small pile!).  I shop vac'd the first floor. 

There was a lot of stuff left in the parking area that we needed to move so the semi can get in tomorrow with the equipment.  I did not get pictures of this before we started but we got what we needed to cleaned up and still have more to go.  Yes, Virginia, we need a dumpster!

Today we are going to be chalking / taping the location for the equipment.  Some of it is kind of big and heavy and it would be good if it went directly to its location while we have a forklift on site.  Now we are working with the assumption that we know where everything belongs!  As Craig would say "Oh Geez".
