Today's work crew was smaller in numbers, but mighty in work accomplished. Leo Vittetoe, Nick Evanovich,Norman Brooks, Richard Gilmore, Isabel Tapia, Andrew Buendia, Jim Cluney, and Terry Miller made up the crew today.
We finished putting on the base trim and door casing, except for where the vinyl flooring goes down. We hung most of the ceiling fans and a few more light fixtures. Most of the towel bars and bathroom accessories were installed.
While most of us were busy inside, Terry Miller was busy outside moving the mountain of dirt around the yard and leveling the terrain.
Isabel, Izzy as we have learned to call her, and her friend Andrew helped clean up all the wood chips and sawdust and paper from all the work that was done over the last two days. They even managed to get some paint on the closet shelf supports and some on themselves.
We made a shorter day of it today since it was part of the weekend.
Next week we will have Bruty's Carpet Corner installing the carpet and vinyl floor covering.
We were one kitchen cabinet short and should get it in along with the counter tops by the end of the week. This will let us finish up the plumbing.
Alliant Energy will try to get our gas and electric run to the house hopefully by this week also.
We look forward to the storm doors coming in this week also. Then, if the rain doesn't mess us up, we will continue to work on the dirt, or mud, around the house.
We are heading closer to completion, but there is still a lot of little things that still need to be finished up.
There is always more opportunity for anyone to help that wants to.
Please give Jim Cluney a call at (319) 653-1735 if you want to help.
Thanks again to everyone who has helped!!!!!
