work weekend

Their expressions say it all. We spent 20 hours of our weekend, cutting, cleaning, building, and repairing a family member's yard and house.

Ross and I built a new porch and hung new shutters:

Linds and Steph chopped down the jungle:

And we all worked to clean out the garage:

All in all, we filled 65 trash bags; trimmed 40 shrubs and 4 trees; clean out and organized 6 rooms and a garage; gave away 4 desks, 1 couch, 2 lamps, 5 chairs, 2 beds, 3 shelves, 30 books, 8 sets of sheets, 16 blankets, 1 chainsaw, 22 picture frames, 6 baskets, and 30 years of miscellaneous knick-knacks; hung 10 shutters; and built 1 porch.
