For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 25, 2022

what sawdust out of the house?

April has a little pail of sawdust. She is so cute.

April unmonitored. Shocking.

They’re going to knock down the inside wall? Why? I thought they were building a new room, not expanding a room.

Gee, Liz and Dawn are really growing up; they’re already taller than Elly!!

Or is it Elly’s lousy posture??

I remember when my parents got wood paneling for the living & dining rooms and hallways. Sawdust everywhere for days.

Keep the mops and brooms handy, Ellie. You can’t win and the sawdust (and other dirt) will come in no matter what.

seems deffective.

To quote Curly of The Three Stooges—“TOIMITES!”

If only I could keep the mud out

Why is there sawdust coming through the plastic now? The wall isn’t down yet. The plastic is shown correctly on the inside of the house to keep the sawdust and/or debris in the construction site, but at this point there shouldn’t be anything else on the inside of the house. The girls would have had to walk outside from the new room and around to an outside door to get to that plastic.

Just vacuum the hallway every day like my neighbor used to do.

At least, that was the plan.
