Day 78

Today we began to actually work in the room! The ladies were kind and moved all the books for us yesterday and put them where they wanted them, so today we removed the shelves, dusted the walls, removed literally HUNDREDS of staples from the ceiling, vacuumed everything up and primed the walls and ceiling.

The hardest part was working with the ceiling- was that what Michelangelo felt like? Ouch.

Bonus: We uncovered the mystery room today! It's just as creepy as I'd thought, but (thankfully) Frankenstein wasn't there like I'd predicted.

(Total Time: 30 minutes loading car, 30 minutes unloading, 5 1/2 hours working x 2 people + 2 hours for Mr. Willis + 30 minutes for Jane Richardson's supervision= 14 hours and 30 minutes.)
