Thought I would post something.
I'm getting ready to remodel the kitchen and the contractor was do out today. Well the stove looked like charcoal and the floor like dirt. So I start on the stove. Well that is slow going. Finally there's some spots of white. What about the grates? Looks like they are bathed in a thick gunk. The only thing I know to do is put them in a freezer bag and throw in a cap of ammonia. I let them sit for a couple of hours while I head to the gym.
Do just a wee bit over an hour of cardio and then off to home. Oh, I need to see this movie. I start the movie and think, nothing is getting done. I take the grates out of the bags and wash them. Well not perfect but 200% better. Then mop the floor. A mop isn't getting it done. So it's on my hands and knees. Thankfully I had the foresight to purchase knee pads. That help. Once again, not perfect but good enough.
What about the living room. Jeeze newspaper, ads, and mail everywhere. Time to pick up and dust up. Dang the ironing board is up. That means tons of space for papers. Finally I get that cleared and the ironing board put away.
I look at the kitchen table. That table cloth is well past it's prime. I pull out a new (new to me) table cloth I bought at a garage sale. Oh that looks nice!
Back to the living room. Oh lord, I pick up some more and some more. Then it's time for the dust mop. It's a wooden floor.
Finally it's almost 10 p.m. I'm pooped. The contractor will be here tomorrow at 9 a.m. That's it for me tonight. I need to enjoy the movie. If I can.
Then I scan the other rooms. Ever seem like when you clean one room the stuff stacks up in another!? Well that's another day.
