You know those days or weeks or months, maybe sometimes years, that you just feel that you are never going to catch up. I have been feeling like this for the past month… All the project we have planned lately have been taking a lot longer than planned, we think the project will take a day or two but in the end it takes a week. Plus one project can not be finished until another project in finished first. So long story short, SORRY I did not post anything on Monday… And today is just a progress report because the projects I did have planned are still not completely finish. I am a slacker lately…
The main focus lately has been the basement because we want it to be in working condition again. If you missed the previous posts of why our basement is a mess, check out this post. We do have cement now but everything and I mean everything is dirty… There is a thick layer of dust everywhere, you can smell the dust (it’s that bad). So my focus has been cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Let me give you a tour before I started any cleaning.
When you first come down the stairs and look to the right you would be looking at this
And this…
Now let’s turn around and look the other way.
On the way to the storage room, we stop at the bathroom (there is no after picture because all I did in this room was vacuum).
After touring the bathroom, we get to this mess…
So I started in the laundry room and vacuumed everything. Then I cleaned everything will soap and water. I did not wash the walls yet… Here is the room now, still not pretty but cleaner…
Like I said earlier, I just vacuumed the bathroom because we are going to finish gutting it before we do a deep clean, so no updated photo.
The biggest project was the storage room. And before things got better, I was feeling like they got worse.
For this room, I vacuumed and washed everything, plus I moved things around. It was a lot of fun, not really, but the room is clean now! Here is the view from the bottom of the stairs.
One of those added projects was creating the storage bench for our tools and paint supplies, tutorial coming soon.
Anyone else doing some deep cleaning?
