Bringing in reinforcements

Mom and Dad MacDonald came to town Wednesday night and got right to work spiffing the place up on Thursday. Dad spent the better part of the day patching the guest bedroom closet with joint compound. Judging by the way the formerly dust-covered granite was sparkling this afternoon, I'd say my mom has been hard at work wielding the cleaning supplies! She's got some magic potion a carpenter recommended to test on our woodwork. I'll be taking tomorrow off to join in the fun. Justen was here today for a few hours. I think he finished the closet trim. He put the trim in the washer/dryer closet so we can attempt to install those this weekend. We'll cut him some slack as it was his birthday and all today!
