RHHP fall workday

Every few months, our household get together on a Saturday morning to tackle tasks that we normally don't have the time to do or that require a collective effort to accomplish. Besides, it's more fun to do it together as a household. Some of the more grimy jobs (such as cleaning the hood over the stove) are tackled on workdays.
The Fall workday is also when we change the batteries of the smoke alarms. Our major accomplishment yesterday was the disposal of much of the stuff that had accumulated in the attic over the years. Most of what we hauled out were 2x4's that were once the bunk beds during the Youth Evangelism Service (YES) era. That allowed Ellen to reorganize the storage area. We also took out old TV sets, dead computers and other appliances. They were deposited on the curb at the back of the house and most of the electronics were quickly picked up by passers-by. Richard, who lives across the street, picked up some lumber but as of this morning, most of the pile is still there. If they remain unclaimed they will end up, regretfully, in the landfill.

We concluded the workday with pizza from Bolis and delicious chocolate chip cookies that Kendra whipped up on short order. Ellen made the lime-ade.
