Working Bees!

We have been so blessed through out our whole renovation.
We've had so many people volunteer their time to help us out.
We can not thank you all enough for all of your help.
With packing, moving, scrapping, cleaning, painting, more scrapping,

taking off ugly wallpaper, stripping cabinets, hanging,hosing,
raking, installing, moving, unpacking...
the list just goes on and on!

Here are photos of the working bees in action.

Photos aren't in chronological order

Enjoy!
