No, not really done, but getting pretty close to cleaning done. When we hit anything with high pressure air now, there is very little dust generated. We're cleaning the downstairs with a Swiffer at this point. Will probably switch to something else for a couple days to let dust settle, then another day cleaning, then work 2 more days, then clean 1 day, etc.
Sincere thanks to Curt for flying out to help for the long holiday weekend - very much appreciated (and to Lisa for letting him). Thanks to Andy for spending the afternoon of his day-off vacuuming and air-washing my house - also very much appreciated. And last but not least, to David, to continuing to hang.
Couple of mile-posts hit this weekend - over 600 hours logged (total). David will pass me in labor hours by mid-week.
Besides cleaning, spent some quality time planning the next phases. We're flying. Tomorrow, cleaning the family room and picking up a whole house fan that Geoff has offered - setting up some real ventilation while other work is being done. If anyone local has a high-velocity fan not in use that I can borrow for a couple weeks, please let me know. Copper stub-outs and necessary tools purchased online - picking up tomorrow, and maybe trying (want plenty of time in case of... disaster).
Here is a preliminary list of "to-do" before sealing the walls back up. We'll be tackling these, and probably a few I forgot, between now and July 1 - in sort of an order of priority...
