June 3rd through June 9th

June 3^rd through June 9^th: Monday we found some mold on the bottom of the sheetrock on walls of the TV and music rooms.  I had to tear out 1 to 3 feet of sheetrock on the exterior walls and then spray the insulation and the studs with a product that kills the mold and prevents it from returning.  I then had to install new sheetrock and tape the joints.  In the afternoon, I got some of the cabinets for the TV/Front room built.  Mom spent the day at work.

Tuesday I made two trips to Clearfield to pick up the moldings.  Mom helped me unload the fist load and then had to go to work.  Badger helped me with the second load.  I finished building the cabinets for the TV/Front room.  

Mouldings ready for installation.

Cabinets built ready for installation.

Wednesday we went to our first early morning shift at the temple.  Mom had to be there dressed and ready to go at 5:00 am.  We had a nice shift.  We went to lunch and then to our painting class.  In the evening, we met Charles and Jennie Bennett for dinner at the Mandarin Restaurant here in Bountiful.  They are dear friends from our home on the avenues.  I was their home teacher for about 15 years.  It was great to see them and hear about their children and grandchildren. They are serving at a branch at the Utah State prison and have invited us to do a Family Home Evening there in July.  

New asphalt on our street.

Stanford got some eyes and some color on his face.

Mom's landscape is almost done.

Thursday morning I got the cabinets in the TV/ Front room installed.  Mom decided that she would work Thursday mornings in addition to Monday and Tuesdays.  In the afternoon we went and moved the last of our things from a big storage unit to a very small one.  

Front room cabinets are installed.

Friday I got the cabinets in the Music/Craft room built.

Saturday I got all but one cabinet in the Music/Craft room installed and the fillers and sub fascia in the TV/Front room installed.

Fillers are in and the cabinets are ready for mouldings.

In the afternoon, we picked up Jill Smith, our art teacher in Guatemala, who is now living on the avenues, and took her with us to an art gallery show.  Merritt Stites is one of Chris’ oldest friends and colleagues.  She is also a talented artist and some of her art
friends had the show.   Sunday we went to church and in the afternoon had Charlotte and Alex’s family along with John and Jill’s family to our place for dinner.   John’s family got home late Saturday night, a day early from a river trip near Moab and Charlotte has been in a lot of pain from a pinched nerve in her hip.  We made some good progress on two of the rooms upstairs and this next week we are going to demo the kitchen.
