State of the Big Blue House
Nov. 22nd, 2011 08:14 amToday should be the last day of cleaning by ATA Flood and Fire cleaners. Everything has been wiped off, put back, but not necessarily where it was picked up from, and I can't find anything. I need a new corkscrew, as the one form the dining room has gone AWOL for the moment. I can see my floors, and they are clean! as of yesterday afternoon. What remains of the WTW carpeting (front stairs and upstairs hall) has been steam cleaned yesterday (and is still damp), not that it makes much of a difference, as they are 26+ years old and show it. Talis's room has not been cleaned completely, for a variety of reasons. The basement has a lot less stuff in it; [Unknown site tag] has been doing a lovely job of rearranging and tossing out. Hot tub has been retired for the duration, as ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dhs needs to get the motor fixed, and the circuit must be rewired.
Two feet of hangers and seven large (24"x24"x24") boxes of bedding and clothes from my room arrived from the dry cleaners yesterday morning. We are expecting the balance, minimum of 23 boxes and 10-14 feet of hangers, late Wednesday afternoon. Oh, joy.
Talis had several camp friends stay for Splash weekend, and the last will be heading home today.
Thanksgiving will happen with extended family and friends. There will be paper napkins as the cloth ones are in the dry cleaning. I have a wonderful turkey fromgoddessfarmer, and organic butternut squash and pumpkin from Heirloom Harvest.
This morning, after cleaning more of my bedroom, and unpacking the rest of the bedding into the linen closet, I go for my annual mammogram. With all this going on, I managed to pay my credit card bills on time, and we all pitched in to get the front yard raked yesterday morning (and the leaf vacuum, of course, did not show up).
Still to come: rewiring three electrical circuits, estimate and then completing repairs of the burned posts and beams. Unpacking, sorting, and putting away the dry cleaning, putting curtains back up. Reorganizing pantry and cabinets. I am sure I am forgetting things.
