Charlie and I stayed on to clean while Chris went back to Houston and back to work. Labor Day and no one worked except us! On Tuesday the painter came to start the process of staining the concrete in the basement. We continued to scrape, vacuum and mop the floors to try to get as much of the sheetrock mud and dust out of the house before the trim work was started. With plywood subfloors on the main floor and upstairs it was quite a challenge. I also washed all the windows to clean off the wall texture that had been oversprayed. We had a friendly visitor spend the day… a huge walking stick! I understand they eat other insects so we were happy to let him stay awhile.
