F. called Spike to see if he was available to work on the house. He was so we went to pick him up. He lives in an apartment with a gate at the bottom of the stairs to his outside door. We waited at the gate until he came down and was ready to go. Then we went to get something to eat, feeding him, filled up his 7/11 refillable soda cup, then went back to start working. While they worked on sanding, and finishing the drywall mudding I began to work on getting the kitchen cleaned again. I always end up washing all the pots and pans that remain out on the stove because I can't tell for sure if they are actually clean or what might have been in them lately. Then as a mechanic F. gets dirty and oily. He takes a lot of long hot baths though so he is very clean but the bathtub is not so good at that. I always wash the bathtub when I get there so I can feel comfortable about taking baths in it.
We were trying to get the one room finished before R. got home as a surprise. M. was coming for the weekend and the more we got done the more time we would have to play. We were trying to stay focused on getting the work done first and playing afterwards.
