And here is an after photo:
It took me all morning to clean it out and the walls were black with dirt. I know it doesn't look much cleaner but honestly it is. Now I don't want to gross you out, but here is what I found in bottom of the window. Actually it wasn't as bad as other windows, but still bad enough!!
My dad made this bench for me a few years ago, so it's found a new home in the mud room. Inside I keep hats and mitts. The door I placed it in front of, is siliconed shut and we will be taking it out completely when we get a chance.
Here are some photos of our kitchen/dining room. The microwave is sitting on the island, as its one of those microwaves that go above the stove and dh hasn't had time to put it up for me yet.
Our new lawn tractor arrived also today, I forgot to take a photo though. That was interesting getting that out of the crate, as the Sears delivery guys wouldn't do it!! I also managed to get some more windows cleaned. All in all the day just flew by again, and I know Thursday will be just as busy!!

I love your floors! The house looks like it's going to be lovely once you are done cleaning!
You are certainly working hard Gill. I have tried leaving comments over the past few days but they just keep bouncing back to me so I hope this gets through.

It is looking lovely. Is it starting to feel like a home yet???
Lovely farmhouse kitchen! Love the floorboards. Keep the photos coming.
I adore the bench your dad made. Wow!
Best wishes for the new house!
I love your new kitchen Gill! It looks like you get a lot of light and I love the (pine?) floors--very rustic. Nice job on your mud-room, It's nice to have that corner done so when you come home you have a place to put your things!

I know it's hard work cleaning up but it must give you such a great sense of reward to see it cleaned up. Your new home is going to look beautiful. Great photos and I too look forward to more of them.
At least there is lots of character along with the dirt! :)
It's beautiful, Gill and I'm sure you'll have it up to snuff in no time.
Love the sunlight in your kit/DR. You'll get through it with that, I hope!
I love your home. I love the bench your dad made.. Don't forget friend to take a few minutes to relax.
I love all the wood you have - please tell me you don't plan to paint it white...I hate when that is done :)
Hi Gill,
Love your new kitchen and floors!
Before you know it you will have days of R&R and enjoy all the hard work behind you!

I know you have a lot of work to do. But that place is gonna be beautiful when you've got it together!
All that wood looks beautiful, just my style!
Oh wouldn't you just love to be able to be in the crate with the mower and just drive it out through the crate!
You are making great progress, great to see the photos
