The Great Summer Clean Up

We've got overnight guests coming in a couple of weeks and lots of little and big projects we should be getting started on anyway. Guests are always a great motivator for me, so I'm going to capitalize on that. :) I'll break it down room by room and perhaps post some before and after pics.

Bathroom
~scrape old caulk, clean, re-caulk
~lay new floor tiles
~clean & repaint trim
~hang new shower curtain liner
~hang new curtain

Hallway
~paint doors
~wash walls, touch up paint
~wash floors & trim

Porch
~tidy
~clean glass table
~new chairs?

Basement
~wash floors
~general declutter
~vacuum window sills
~replace light bulbs
~vacuum laundry room

Kitchen
~wash cabinets
~wash fridge
~clean out freezer

It's a lot but I've got a full weekend home alone and no real spending money to speak of, so here we'll be with time and idle hands. And there's lots here the kids can help with. So I'm hoping to get a good bit of this stuff done over the next 3 days. :)

Abandoned

This blog has been abandoned.

You can find bethany at her vox blog.

We gave up on the family blogging thing. Decluttering and reorganizing continue. Pics at :

And Rob is (newly!) over at lj, for now anyway:

Uh

Forgot about this.

We kind of gave up.

We are having company tomorrow, though. And I have plans to have company quite a bit over the next few weeks. I like to entertain as the weather turns chilly. So, we'll get back on track. I need to do some major decluttering before Yule decorating. It's also a good time of year to freecycle, craigslist and ebay those things that are just taking up space.
