DAY 409: Half of the 7,130,915 Holes FILLED!

Just like I predicted....I filled holes for the day.  It was a lllllloooooonnnnngggggg day but we made great progress! Crawfords is my new favorite putty (and it comes in a nice tin).  It was a tip/recommendation from our finish work guy Ben.  It is oil based, quick and slick, and doesn't need sanding when dried. (Photo has a special guest visitor--shout out to my siblings!)

Maya did AWESOME filling up holes once I taught her the trick. 

The putty had to be squeezed into a point and pushed into the hole.  With the thumb still over the hole you slide the putty knife underneath and quickly pull it out again.  These are Maya's cute little hands showing her work.

 The hold is clean, smooth, perfect and doesn't need sanding.

After Maya mastered the hole filling I taught Estee.  She could do it too but lost interest after about half an hour.

One of Estee's jobs was to clean the scraps out of the house.  She struggled a bit with the chore, distracted with other interests.  When I went outside I found this on the porch....

 Maya gets the bragging rights for building the deck with her Dad.  It was a chore that she enjoyed and it was fun to watch her work so hard.  Brent was able to finish up almost ALL of the electrical work today.  We have a few more lights that he will need to hang but YAY!!! Almost done! 

 Our work buckets all got stuck together.  Maya was sitting on the new bench in the mud room so I snapped a pic when she was working to seperate them.  Just showing you the newly made bench (to be painted white).

 It was supposed to be warm today.  Thought that we would be able to paint the entire back of the house.  But Timp tells the story of what we dealt with today. 

8:38 pm and we're just now home.  It was another 12 hour Saturday work day, time for bed!
