Hard Work

We've been working hard on our house. Here are some pictures of the work we've done in the basement. We've had to scrape out the loose mortar between bricks then fill the bigger holes with "great stuff" gap filler. And finally we will cover that with mortar mix. We are actually almost done with the mortar mix part.
After that we'll scrape the extra mortar off the walls, clean up the basement, and eventually we'll paint all the walls and possibly the floor a white-ish color so that when we get heavy rains again we will be able to tell where there are other leaks. Hopefully there won't be any! :0)

Saturday our friend Michael came over to help us with the basement, we were able to finish all we could do pretty quickly. So instead of resting we pulled the carpet out of the dining room and cleaned the floor. As you can see we've got nice oak floors. I was a little hesitant of doing it now, but Morgan did a wonderful job. And as usual, he was right that it is much better than the carpet. I've got a smart husband!
