M's Vacation

Once a year, M gets to take some vacation time.  His boss asked him where he was going to go during his vacation.  The beach?  Camping? 

How about working?  Yes, bright and early on his first day of vacation, M pulled the old carpet into the van, went to the dump, went to the hardware store, and stocked up on Pergo.  This morning he made another hardware store list to go along with his work/vacation plans and he is gone again.  But he didn't leave until he pressure washed the porch with the help of the three older kids.  IJ is pressure washing, S is scrubbing with a scrub brush, and E is brushing on a cleaning solution.  His plans are: re-flooring the dining room, office, and boys room, building a shoe/boot rack out front, building a picnic table, siding the well house and chicken coop, and staining the deck.  Some vacation!
