The Big Cleanout

Okay I promise I will upload pics soon as you have to see the 'excavation' project begun yesterday in the Big Main theatre. I tore through piles and piles and piles of junk and sorted out the "trash" junk from the "good" junk. I created more piles to get loaded onto the Enfield public works dump truck and hauled off to the dump.
All day long I pulled material out including: 2x4s, 4x4s, metal rods, sheet rock, furniture, old lights, old radios, boxes and boxes of Rives & Co. Hardware store receipts, invoices and bills boxed by year (1951, 52..59...66...79...ad infinitum!!) Oi!!! They were believers in saving receipts let me tell you. Mind you Rives & Co., was the hardware store next door to the Lodge (back in the day) but probably closed down in the early 1970s!! The lodge theatre was their warehouse where they stored EVERYTHING!!! Plus, I think the theatre became the dumping ground for anyone and everyone in town that had cleaned out their houses (or their parents houses) and decided to store stuff here. There were dishes...loads of old waffle irons...anyone want waffles? you name it we got it!
I'm sorting through and we may have a yard sale...everything $1 (or more)..and maybe we will make enough to buy 5 theatre seats...It's a start.

had Jeff & Ray my trusty local workers over today to help bring all the junk to the dump truck and in a couple hours got the thing loaded to capacity (and overloaded). Tomorrow the truck comes back for Round two.

By 5:30 I looked at myself and my jeans and clothes could walk by themselves. I was dusty, dirty and smelly. Went directly to the laundry room after getting home stripped down and jumped in the shower and showered Twice!

Now you will get Ms Myra's first blog report. Today she finished off some spackling and sealing of the plaster moulding in the 3rd floor lounge room. If you have seen pics it is the room outside the theatre that has the red rug in it. We will build and/or install a bar in here to make $$$ before and after shows selling drinks and what nots. But I will turn the blog over to Myra and she will post her adventures today!
