I wasn't there yesterday to observe any of the progress, but I've heard it went really well. A lot of TV stations came to check it out and the Omaha World Herald was there too. I was located at the house on Franklin Street today. (see left photo) Basically, today consisted of cleaning, sweeping, and painting. Did I mention... A LOT of cleaning! I spent half of my time scrubbing down the walls, baseboards, and trim. After that, we worked on the window frames. Fox 42 News came to the house to check out the commotion. Also, a photographer, and some other reporters were working on a story. A lot of excitement! After breaking for lunch, catered by Sgt. Pfeiffers (yum!) We got to the fun part.... painting!! Melanie, Stacie and I started painting the window frames beige, which turned out to be the wrong color- the beige was supposed to be for the walls... ooops! I finished one room with the girls before leaving today. I think the window frames will be fixed tomorrow. Here are some photos of the day's work:<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1410.0.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1410.0.jpg" border="0" /></a> Melanie and Stacie Schrieber clean the walls.</div><div align="center"> </div><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1411.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1411.jpg" border="0" /><p align="center"></a> Maggie Russell cleans the kitchen.<br /></p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1412.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1412.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">Jenny Miller cleans the cabinets.<br /></p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1413.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1413.jpg" border="0" /><p align="center"></a>Don Klosterman, Christa Horste, and Sandy Higdon stop for a second to pose for the camera.<br /></p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1416.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1416.jpg" border="0" /><p align="center"></a> Stephanie Goraczkowski (me!) vacuums.<br /></p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1417.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1417.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"> Cleaning up outside.<br /></p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1418.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1418.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">Raking the leaves.</p><p align="center"> <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1422.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1422.jpg" border="0" /></a> Preparing to paint.</p><p align="center"><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1424.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1424.jpg" border="0" /></a> Some of the guys patching up the walls.</p><p align="center"> </p><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/1600/DSCN1425.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/193/2423/320/DSCN1425.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">Painting progress.</p><p>Things are looking really good so far.
