Week 34

 Finished wiping down the shower. Asked Doc to re-caulk a small strip and re-glue a strip of baseboard in front of the shower. Well, it turned into a 3+ hour job that included taking the shower door off and really scrubbing all the pieces and then re-caulking all of it. It does look really nice, better than when I cleaned it. Need to finish up the toilet, the sink area, walls and floor. For the entry, just need to wipe down the walls, the light fixture, the ceiling fan and the front door. I will probably shampoo the carpet at the bottom of the stairs. Really need to finish by Wednesday.

Week 33

Started on the bathroom. Wiped down the wall and baseboards from the door to the shower. Also cleaned the mirror behind the door. Started on the right side of the shower. Working in 15-20 minute spurts because of Ducky. Really need to finish up the bathroom and entry. Almost there!

Week 32

 The laundry room is finally done! It's what I spent most of Friday morning working on. That room should have gone much faster, but it's done now. Next up is the bathroom. The shower will be the worst part so I think I'll tackle that first. Doc and Trixie will be home this week so they can take turns watching the dog. Hopefully I can get some stuff done besides the bathroom.

Week 31

 I hate that I've let myself get derailed by a little dog. Not just with the Mt. Vernon project, with everything. Doc and Trixie are gone this week so Ducky is going to spend some time in the kennel. I need to get the rest of Mt. V done. I'm almost there.

Last Sunday I decided to wash a load of towels. Before starting the load I noticed some water on the floor from the blankets I had just washed. Well, the floor totally flooded. It's like the water went through the drum and right out on the floor. I had a load of wet, dirty towels and water all over the floor. I moved things out and used the steamer to suck up the water. I had to run the dryer twice to dry the soaked towels. I probably should have wrung them out first. Doc was delayed in coming home from his trip so I didn't get to Lowe's until Tuesday evening. Picked out a washer and Doc took it home and hooked it up. The old washer is still in the laundry room. I should see if Pepa can bring his dolly to see if we can get it out of the laundry room or if I need to somehow disassemble it. Too bad it wasn't a month earlier, the old washer could have been taken with the big trash pickup. I just need to get in there and finish cleaning, mostly dusting and cobwebs. Then I can bring back the stuff I moved to the library. So close!
