Once again we were at Domek Lesny this last weekend.  This time we got a 40 yard dumpster.  Once again we filled it.  However now the majority of the cleanup is done.  It no longer looks like "white trash" lives there, just a little neglected.  We got the detached garage cleaned out (there were MANY nicely packed boxes of kindling and nice clean jars of sawdust).  We set up the detached garage for the Estate sale and put up tables.  Joe threw out all that pallets and bright blue tarps and other trash against the garage and laying in piles around the property.    MOst importantly, we are MOUSE FREE!  Yeah!  Joe also tore up the carpet in the open areas of the kitchen and experimented with the best way to scrape up the glued down backing.  Once we get the backing up we can put down ceramic tile.  I have green paint samples on the wall in Joe and Marie's room.  I think it's right.  Also, the large stuffed fish on the wall in the livingroom disappeared into the dumpster.  Joe tried to save it, but finally gave up when he saw it was rotting.  The fish in the plexiglass box (from the basement) was saved, but it made it to the detatched garage and I am determined it will get no closer to the house.

Hopefully Joe will post some photos.  The ferns are doing very well and we got tons of rain which have resulted in a very green environment to inspire us.
