Ralph and Grace buy irons from a laundryman and Uncle Levi takes them to dinner.

The plan to buy irons and build basement capacity leads to a zealous scrubbing of the downstairs.

Grace takes lessons from Sam Lee and Ralph delivers their first completed load of laundry.

Furnace and plumbing all repaired, but the fledgling laundry service has trials right from the start.

Mother’s first laundry order comes at the expense of frozen pipes and several bags of coal.

It was a good thing that mother decided to try and light the furnace on Sunday since the disaster that followed could not have been dealt with while guests or laundry were in the house.

The trial of learning how to hang wallpaper and get the house cleaned up were worth it as they got to move in before Sunday.

A survey of the new Moody home shows just how much work needs to be done to get it cleaned up.

Ralph will never try a chew of tobacco again, and Mother gets a whole houseful of furniture.

Ralph scrubs the store ceiling, Uncle Levi visits, Mother improves at the laundry, and a potential house for rent comes to their attention.
