    Purgatory | So Nearly Done

    We slowly kept plugging away, with long breaks for snacks, naps, and watching Mythbusters and Stargate: Atlantis reruns. This morning, we started out with about a third done, and a feeling that time was running out. So we kept at it, with short breaks for lunch and snacks, and suddenly we were up to the closets. And then after a tricky cut to span the divider, we were down to 2 long pieces, plus a box of "shorties" and mid-length pieces.

We’ll sleep in the guest room until the floor is done and we can get the bed set up in the master bedroom again. We cleaned as we went, dusting off all over and vacuuming a horrific amount of crud out from behind everything, even wiping dust off power cords. With all the allergy stuff in the news,…
