July started to show real progress!

We worked weekends and of course we had extra days with the long Fourth of July weekend.

After the windows were out and the 2nd floor was cleared we could begin to dismantle the flooring.

The first section of flooring came down and we could see and use the sliding south dock door. What a difference it made! . . . more light, air, and a glimpse of where we were heading.

We had the "clean" room, which was the old office, where we could have our lunch. It seemed sort of funny to call it that since most days we were covered in old coal dust, and even funnier when I mentioned we were cleaning 100 year old dirt! That's how you know it's time to call it a day.

the gloves on the right were photographed and put to rest as a reward for saving the tip of the finger.
the crowbar slipped as the last nail from the drywall was removed and the tip of the finger was broken and a nail was lost. 
heck of a way to get a few weekends off!
