2015 Work Weekend Wrap-Up (and Photos)
This year’s work weekend had good luck for a change and provided us with good weather to concentrate on the outside of the house. The day started at 9am by breaking into groups and assigning tasks. Outside work included a spring cleaning of the planting beds, remaining leaf clean up from fall and debris removal from the side lot. Four yards of mulch was then spread over the planting beds. The side porch was cleaned and organized, sunken paving bricks were repaired and all trash and old bikes were removed.
Inside work was concentrated on the first floor. The living room and library carpets were cleaned, the mail room and coat room were cleaned and re-organized removing all old accumulation of lost coats, unclaimed mail and other miscellaneous clutter. A few other small repairs were completed including the re-installation of some doorway trim that had fallen off. The actives will finish the deep cleaning of this level of the house in time for Blue/White weekend and their parent’s weekend.
Although this year’s event was smaller than past years, the work accomplished goes a long way to help the aesthetic appearance of our property. Thank you to all who participated on Saturday, with a special thank you to Brothers John McElwee, Rich Maltz, James Stuhltager and Jeff Damcott for their donations.
