Clean-fest

Today was the day we knocked out the rest of the cleaning. We got over there this morning and set to work. The master bathroom is now shiny with glory. Okay, not really, but it's a hell of a lot better than it was when I started. The drawers in the vanity were pulled out, and when I was dusting while the drawers were being cleaned, I discovered a poor little spider that had been mashed into oblivion when one of the drawers had been pushed in long, long ago. Oh well. But now that room's as clean as it'll ever be. I'm not sure I'd walk on the floor barefoot, though, even though subsequent passes with wet cloths showed it to be perfectly clean.

We got another few inches of snow in our neighborhood last night, but that did not deter our wonderful friends K&C. They showed up and many windows were washed, scraped free of tape, and the nook's floor actually looks like a real floor now and not a mud hole. It's great. Much was accomplished, like this cabinet door. The one on the right is coated with the original schmutz. The one on the left looks even better in person.











We're still trying to come up with a final plan of action. It's sort of down to doing the wiring before the carpeting or doing the carpeting, getting our money out of escrow, and then doing the wiring. We'll see. We need to talk it out a bit more. Tomorrow, at least, we're set- we're off to buy a bathroom sink and some cleanser that will get the mildew off the aluminum windows in the master bedroom, which are NASTY with the stuff. In the near future we'll assess the gutter situation.

In the meantime, though, it's back to jammies and tea and mulling over the floor plan, deciding where we want things to be, and we raise our cups to our lovely friends and the super job they did today. We couldn't have done it without them.
