June 10th Visit to Charles
Lindsay and Kate opened the windows in the living room and did a thorough dusting of everything, pulled the cushions off the couch and chair to clean out/vacuum and pulled all the furniture away from the walls to do a really good vacuum.
Lindsay brought their ionic..."thingy" which pulls impurities out of the air. After just an hour or so the living room looked and smelled much cleaner.
Chris and Russ replaced the front door - the old door (big old heavy front door) was being held in with 2 finishing nails!!!!!! The new one will be safer and do a much better job of keeping the weather outside!
Dave and Scott rebuilt the shelf underneath the kitchen sink.
Curt (and I think Dave and Scott helped him at points) replaced the floor in the little bathroom off the laundry room. New tile has to be put down and the fixtures put back in....but now no one will fall through the floor!
And Carol and Dawn worked hard scraping wallpaper in the kitchen.
Next week: Trim out new front door, fix the dangerous section of kitchen floor, keep working in the bathroom, finish scraping wallpaper in the kitchen and scrap wallpaper (border) in the living room and hallway!

June 3rd Visit to Charles
Tonight we hung out with Charles for about an hour, catching up with him since we missed the week before. He's looking better and better every time we see him. I think he's excited about his health returning to him. He definitely enjoyed our company this evening.
We let him know we would come back next week to work ... we will be cleaning, prepping for painting, possibly putting a door in, and working in the back bathroom that needs the floor completely replaced. Check back next week!

Cleaning Continues at Charles's House
We had another productive week at Charles's house. We finished getting the kitchen cleaned and hung a couple of fans. Here are some "after" pics that I missed taking last week. Charles was thrilled about his clean kitchen and very grateful.

Adopting Charles Houk
We decided as a small group to adopt someone who could use a little TLC for his spirit as well as his house. During the 30-hour famine, Kate and her group went to Charles Houk's house and did a bit of cleanup in his yard and some cleanup in the house. From that open door, Charles became open to the idea of our small group coming to help him and to hang out with him ...
