#2 DON'T WAIT FOR SPRING - DO IT NOW !

It was time to do some spring cleaning in August. There was no time like the present!



Have you ever wanted to get something done around your house and you talk about it, and talk about it, plan for it; anticipate it... but it never happens. Well, it happened. Yay! We, my husband and I cleaned out the furnace room of the old furniture we were saving, (for what I asked?) Pieces of drywall; old dried up clay (my pottery stuff) that had moldy spots. (ewe); ancient computer parts; wires; plugs; books, magazines and whatever have you that you just don't know where to put, so it goes in 'that' room. Have you ever been there? Well the furnace room received a good cleaning and purging. Up the stairs we carried the boxes, junk and furniture. It was very hard work. I was sweating huge droplets as we loaded the trailer, and off to the dump we went, where we now had to unload the trailer, which was not as hard, but we exerted energy for sure! The ride back home was ten minutes of pure enjoyment, windows open, catching our breath and enjoying the breeze. Once we were home back down to the basement I went to finish sweeping and cleaning the furnace room. THEN... I hauled a ton of clean, dry wood down the stairs and stock piled it in the room. How many up and down trips did I do on the basement stairs?



(Lugging IKEA bags packed with the heavy wood - about 10 logs at a time down the twelve stairs and then after I emptied the haul and piled it back up the stair I would have to climb to get more wood.) I would say about 15 trips... NO exaggeration!



My body hurt all night...



Well, my furnace room is somewhat clean. A few more things to go this Saturday. TOXIC waste day. Paint, toners, and old mercy light bulbs/florescent kind.



Now that I have one basement room done... the itch is on to do the other three parts - down there in the dark and gloomy dungeon. It does make one feel good inside when you finish a project or partial project. I feel challenged in a good way to continue the purging. It felt good.



However, today is Sunday and I need a break. I am resting and typing this blog instead,

just because!
