Workday No. 27 "Nasty, Dirty"

Okay, so ceiling tile replacement now ranks up there on the list of nastiest jobs, right up there with glue scraping...ick.

Sandy, Ellen and I spent the better part of a very long day
replacing ceiling tiles in the hut. Think again if you imagine this job is simply about
popping tiles out and then back in again. Oh no. This job involves being on the top of a tall ladder with your face smack up
against the itchiest, dustiest, nastiest stuff you've ever encountered. All of which will come showering down on top of you
when you least expect it. Imagine if you will,
the occasional shower of mouse poop on top of it all.
Just imagine...

For hours, Sandy coaxed each tile and its insulation out of the grid, one at a time and in one piece behind her back while balancing on top of the ladder and dodging the mouse poop. Get the picture? She also had the magic touch when it came to getting the tiles back in places, dodging numerous wires and pipes in the way, without hitting a single light bulb!

While Sandy and I were at work on the main ceiling Ellen was valiantly working solo, cutting and fitting the edge tiles.

Nasty...
dirty...that was us today.

There were lots of other important tasks being completed today at FOUND!

Bill finished painting the big finger,

and it looks absolutely amazing!
I'd be proud too.

Dan and Bill got the partitions installed in the front space,

and Dan put the caps on them.
They look very sleek and clean!

Dan got more molding installed,

and Pat helped with the ceiling tiles in the front
(the hateful ones with complicated cuts).

Thank you Pat!

Ken worked on our POS system,and got us all ready to make sales!

While we were all inside, the mason was outside working on our new front step.

Nice!
