Week 38

I worked in the garage twice this week and made it passed the window. The next area includes the cupboards and lots of tools. Definitely an area for Doc. Since he'll be gone this week, I think maybe I'll start working on the far wall which really shouldn't take too long. I'll probably need to do it when Dash is at work as he'll be parked in the garage this week. Then perhaps the weekend after the 4th of July, Doc and I can tackle the cupboard corner. Then to the shed.

Week 37

 Made it to the back door in the garage. I rinsed out all the old plant trays in the backyard before putting them in the recycle bin. Of course, the dog had to snatch a couple. Now I can start working along the back wall. It's suppose to be very hot this week so I'll see how much I can get done in the mornings.

Week 36

 Worked a little bit in the garage. The snowblower area has been swept clean and the top of the freezer has been cleaned off. The freezer hasn't been defrosted yet. Need to focus on eating the stuff in there this week. This week I'll focus on the bench and the area around the back door. Doc will be home next Saturday so I really need to focus on this.

I also need to focus on general cleaning this week. It's been a little slack lately. I'll go back to upstairs on Monday and downstairs on Wednesday.

Week 35

 Talk about taking it down to the wire. Finished up my Mt. Vernon project on Wednesday. I did it! Front door, all the way through the house and back to the front door in 8 months. There is a huge pile in the library for the garage sale. I have a list of repairs and projects to work on this fall. This summer I'll focus on the garage and shed and then the sale. 

Need to get back on the cleaning schedule that was working okay before we got the dog. Monthly and quarterly chores need to be incorporated somehow. Do I include them on the Monday and Wednesday cleaning days? Or do I have a day, like Thursday or Friday, to knock out these items?

The only thing I've done in the garage so far is put some items in a box to take to hazardous waste. It was 90 degrees most of the week. Way too hot to work in the garage. It's suppose to be a little cooler this week. Should definitely try to do a little bit in the mornings. It would be great if I could get a big chunk done before Doc gets home from his trip. More than once he wanted to get started on the garage. I'd really like his help in the cleaning and sorting of the cupboards and tool chest. I have two weeks to be diligent in getting things done out there.
