Full work day Tuesday:

Talk about fired up. This 9 cord team, reduced to 8, went to work. They ran into a few problems, but their list of accomplishments was amazing.

The cabinets that were already installed were off level; they needed to be realigned before the rest of the cabinets could be placed. So, they did that.

The shed had to be cleaned out before the hot water heater could be installed. So, they did that.

Among the interesting things observed in the shed was a monstrous 3 inch slug.
They fumigated, and then went beyond – as necessary: it took 26 direct aim squirts of bug killer before one giant cockroach became a bestial angel.

They also:
Inventoried supplies on hand and made lists of needed items
Divided into task groups
Repaired the broken toilet and seat to workable flushing and seating status
Patched the drywall holes
Installed the microwave
Put the bed together to get the pieces out of the way for the painters
Repainted the ceilings and trim
Washed down ¾ of the outside of the home
Achieved 80% of the needed caulking
Dumped, hauled and made trash
Completed the kitchen counter edge banding
Got the sink top cut out
Planned the wheelchair ramp and railings
Prioritized Wednesday’s jobs, learned, bonded, laughed, and truly solidified as a team.
Without me, but that was alright.
