I don't live in the city of Midland, but I do live in the county of Midland, hence, Greendale Township.
I am about 15 miles west of downtown.

I'm in Homer Twp I have a feeling were pretty close to each other.

If I can pull this off I will post pictures but it will take time. I've been scrubbing for nearly a month now. Hard on the old arms and shoulders. Thanks again

Cakelsey,
I've been wondering how your sewing house is going? Did you get the roof on? Thank you so much for sharing your project with us. If I lived close by I would come and help!
We once scrubbed, cleaned and painted a house that was attached by a hallway to a restaurant that burned. The firemen had broken in the door to check for occupants. The house wasn't burned, but the smoke from the other building damaged everything! We didn't live there then, but was able to get it for extremely low rent ($150/mo) because we cleaned & painted everything inside & out. The landlord was so happy about it that he never raised the rent in the 5 years we lived there! An out-of-state job required us to move.
I said all that to tell you I know how much work it is to scrub and paint an entire house, hope all is going well.

My first question is this... will having window air conditioners affect my fabric, sewing machine and serger? Will having an old Deerborn gas heater affect them? Also when I hopefully get organized I had planned on putting vinyl or a clear shower curtain liner on the front of my bookcases to keep the dust off my fabric. Would this be okay? I would appreciate any advice you ladies could give me. Thank you Carol

Jbud2 and Craftybear, thanks for asking..I do finally have one working room in the house.I will try to attach a couple of pictures of the progress. I wound up putting sheers in front of all my bookcases and thread racks. I have a peg board on one wall. Hopefully will have more room to spread out when we get another room ready.
