Organizing Update
Sep. 19th, 2011 11:37 amI'm feeling a bit sorry for Josh, he's been hard at work to winterize the house all weekend. Given the football game yesterday, a big chunk of the day was missing but he still managed to get quite a bit done and have time to take the dogs to the dogpark for over an hour.
The laundry room exterior door knob has been replaced. I'm not quite sure how he does it, but whenever Kevin touches a doorknob it breaks. His have been broken for years, literally. Last month's housesitting turned up a suspiciously broken doorknob at our home, so we're blaming him.
The water heater tank has been drained for preventative maintenance. And while he hasn't had a chance, caulk for the windows has been purchased and the faucet caps are ready to go.
We also managed to clean out the hall coat closet. I removed everything from it, got rid of a heck of a lot of stuff that had been collecting in there and then we went through the coats. I figure we likely got rid of half of them, which I'll be dropping off at the thrift shop tomorrow. Josh has been collecting cruise jackets for a long time and looks like most of them are staying, unfortunately. I'm likely as bad with all my fleece jackets and vests. *eye roll* The closet is now beautifully organized and has room in it - I can even see the floor!
I'm getting antsy about replacing the flooring. I'm now vacuuming three times a week with the shop vac and dusting as often. Needless to say, sinuses are not happy with me and the ones on the left side of my cheek/jaw are swollen and very tender. Grr.
