just_the_things76. Clean/fix the house during May each year
I didn't make as much progress as I had hoped, but my house is a little cleaner. I ended up taking five half days throughout the month, which reallly wasn't enough in the end to do what I wanted. But I did do a number of things and make some progress in cleaning. It was nice having dedicated time out of my schedule to do things. I need to build that into my schedule more often than a deep cleaning and purging once a year, though. And next list, I think I'll make some sort of threshold so I can tell when I've done enough. That will give me something to work toward rather than just general To Do cleaning/fixing lists.
As I put in some effort, I'm calling this officially done.
Some of the things I managed to accomplish:
Vacuumed
Dusted everywhere
Covered bottom of basket in felt
Cleaned expired foods and foods I can't eat any more from pantry
Cleaned fridge
Cleaned stovetop
Fixed loose boards in fence
Cut metal fencing off plant in front yard
Tidiied up everywhere
Reorganized several messy display shelves
Scrubbed down upstairs bathroom, including grout in shower
Attempted (and failed) to fix a picture on the wall that keeps falling
Reorganized boxes in my closet
Bought a new container for bathroom cleaning supplies
Got 775 books registered & released and out of my house for book festival
Fixed locks on back door (so I can use it again!)
Scrubbed kitchen skink
