Today was the Fall cleaning day from hell and I have no one but myself to blame. Our west porch is ten windows and two doors. The depth being eight feet as it goes along the front of our home. The south wall is the Dennis Curry Command center. A wall of a maze of wires for the telephone, the wireless router, the Mediacom power box, Dennis’ Dell computer and a television set. Dennis’ office chair is one of varnished two by fours. Heavier than a boxcar full of cats.
We have replacement windows throughout our home. Getting in between the south wall and Dennis’ desk to let the replacement windows up and down to clean is a challenge. I gingerly unplugged various ports and plugins to allow for the desk to be moved farther into the room. After doing half of the porch windows and the walls and flooring in that half, I called it a day. I am happy I did the worst first. Going back at it on Monday will be oh so much easier as there is only one overhead lamp to work around, a double sized bed and my Mom and Dad’s glider rocker . . . and a wall with three individual oak shelves on it.
Anyone can live in a 720 square foot home . . . if the organization is in place and stays in place. The end result will be a homogenized porch. With the traffic of the grain semis, tractors pulling grain trailers and the food processing semis with their refer trailers, I can guarantee it will stay freshened up for only a bit as we like to have windows open during the fall season. That’s okay. I will know that it is fresh dirt. A real plus at the end of this day is that ALL of Dennis’ media center is up and running.
