Fall color
Oct. 22nd, 2008 10:09 pmThere are a few bits of color here and there. The trees are just starting to turn yellow in earnest, but aren't really dropping leaves yet. The Virginia Creeper is all going purple for it's one or two days of fall color. The roses are still blooming. Tonight is a fair chance again for a first freeze.

Danny did indeed work all day. The dumpster arrived, and our neighbor graciously allowed us to put it on her large driveway. Danny pulled up the carpeting, got rid of nearly all the old trim, and lots of other chores. When I got home from work at 4:40, I pulled all our bedroom closets apart to the drywall, removed all that trim and tackstrips. Danny covered our bed and furniture with plastic sheeting, so we can start removing lots of drywall now. I'm sure he'll do as much demolishing of the kitchen cabinets tomorrow as possible. That white tile on the countertops is seriously intact and will be hard to remove.
First night sleeping downstairs and showering downstairs in the morning!
