On the first weekend, the guys took down the wall cabinets, and Phil and Michael patched the cement in the garage. When it sets up, we will need to get the corner drywall in there taken down and replaced that has mold so we can start moving things into the garage.
Cleaning the windows in place isn't going to work. Luke and I took the hardware off the one in the bathroom. It was hard to tell how much metal was left underneath the cakes of paint and rust. We are ordering a new windows for this room. Uncle Bear and Shaun tried to unstick the front windows so they could be opened and cleaned. The hinges are not secure, as there are big gouges in the frames, and they have been painted over enough times that nothing fits right. They will have to be taken down and the paint sanded off the edges so they don't stick and break the glass if opened. For now, they are nailed shut :(
Uncle Bear also cut a piece of plywood for the pipe access in Eli's closet. Though not quite big enough to be a crawl space (like the openings outside that had to be covered and bolted shut) he had kicked out the rotted plank door and was trying to get down underneath the house never the less. Now it's more secure and just needs to be sanded and painted.
