Well, we did it. We did our monthly shop today. Or perhaps I should now call it our bi-monthly shop, since we will have to go into the city again to get more of the big, heavy stuff we got only half of what we normally do. Yesterday, I had hoped to get some more … Continue reading Little progress, good progress and making do

Clean up: old hot water tank
Today, it was back to the old basement to finally do something about the old hot water tank that died on us, shortly after we moved here. A job that didn't go as well as I'd hoped in some ways, while better than I hoped in others! 😀 Here is the state of the tank, … Continue reading Clean up: old hot water tank

Clean Up: old basement progress
I was able to get a few more hours working on the old basement today. Honestly, I should probably be using those hours doing housework, but that's depressing. 😀 Cleaning the basement may be really gross at times, but once it's done, it'll stay done for a very long time. It's a psychological thing. 😀 … Continue reading Clean Up: old basement progress

Clean Up: both basements, progress and things we find!
So while my wonderful daughters were making brownies, I headed to the basements to continue with some organizing and cleaning. In the process, I found some very cool things!

I wanted to get some progress in the basements today, but before I continued with cleaning up the old part basement, I wanted to clear things out of the new part basement. I'd been putting garbage bags near the bottom of the stairs, and things were getting pretty cluttered. It wasn't just the garbage I've … Continue reading Crushed

Clean up: old basement. Day 3 progress
I was able to get a bit of time to continue cleaning in the old part basement this afternoon. Progress wasn't quite what I was hoping to get done, though. My thought was to start putting things back in the area I'd been able to mop, but as you can see, there are still damp … Continue reading Clean up: old basement. Day 3 progress

Today, I went back to finish up that last corner of the basement section I was working on yesterday. Altogether, I only put in an hour, and the rest will have to wait.

Clean up: old basement. It begins!
Photo heavy post ahead! 🙂 Today, I started cleaning up in the old part basement. Since I would have to move things to clean under them anyhow, I decided it was time to finally do the proper clean up I was intending to do, later in the year. I started in the half of the … Continue reading Clean up: old basement. It begins!
