Holiday Madness

For Christmas this year, Trent and I both got each other 1 solid week of work time at 49th Street.  Add in a few festive days off in Chicago and family engagements and we’re down to 3 solid days of work.  With 2 days down, we’ve logged some quality work.
  1. Cleaning out of chimney surround (items found - 3 Miller bottles from 1917 oddly spelled Mueller)
  2. Home networking of speaker & CAT 6 wire for entire 2nd floor
  3. Carpet, staples & screws (lots and lots of screws), & carpet tack removed
  4. Linoleum removed from old kitchen (soon to be art room)
  5. Radiators cleaned and painted (items found - army men, curlers and matches, those darn kids)
  6. Basement completely cleaned
  7. Debris left from previous owner removed from site
So now, what we're left with looks a little like woodwork with some walls.  And shiny radiators!
 Carpet removal, that is a half of a tub too. 
 "Clean" floors, see all the holes?
 Carpet be gone
 Radiators before, this is where the army men lived
 Shiny and new
 Beer bottles, old knob and tubewiring and more!
 After the linoleum, nice water damaged floor in the center
 The Paneling Comes Off, and so does the wall
 Millions of tiny holes
Mystery Door between the universes
