Many Hands Make Light Work

Spring is here and it’s time to clean up. I invited friends over this past weekend to help at the house. Here’s the play by play.

Serhan and Domenico hauling garbage

I made Melike and Cem stop work for this photo. Mel was fixing the stone pathway on the side of the house and Cem denailed oak beams for 2 hours.

Matt and Jumbo spent hours working on the finishing trim for the front door. We all took a break to watch them plane the oak wood.

Jumbo pruned the apple tree – long overdue.

Susie pitched in with baby Jamie strapped on – what dedication!

This was a dirty job. Serhan, Domenico and Erin removed siding on the porch ceiling. There was a rotted section which housed a worm nest. It fell through almost spilling onto everyone – really disgusting!

The crew!

Many hands make light work. Thanks guys for trekking down to Rockaway on your weekend and helping us. We got so much accomplished. We’ll be having a few more of these work parties.. stay tuned.
