kareinaWe did 11 hours of cleaning and work on the new house today. The office is now empty and ready for the floor to be installed. We would love to paint the walls first, but we don't expect a paint store to be open tomorrow. We took one of the nice cabinets, which had been in the bedroom and put it in the kitchen to serve as a pantry holding all the glass jars of food.
We installed a shelf in the space where there once had probably been a small inset fridge, and mounted the microwave in there, at eye height. We cleared a space in the little room off the fridge for the bookshelf Caroline gave me, which is now the pantry for canned goods and refills for the jars.
We shoveled the driveway down to the garage door, so that when the late owner's step daughter comes to take away some of the tires and stuff in the basement it will be easier. Whilst outside we met some of the neighbours, who seemed really nice, and who also seemed glad to learn that we are cleaning out the house and that the cars in the yard will be going away.
We also cleaned a bit in the laundry room to make room for the dryer I brought with me, my tricycle, and my kick sled. In the process I discovered a mummified frog. I don't cope well with corpses, so I squealed when he picked it up to take a photo.
Once we were done for the day we took away the day's trash and recycling and tried to donate some of the former owner's clothes, but the container at the second had store was too full to take more.
We got back to Keldor's dad's house on time to watch the midnight fireworks out the bedroom window. Happy New Year!
