Once A Week Is Easy

Tweet

Taking the led from @Coral I talked Tony into getting the basement cleaned out, once again, seems like every time I get this into the schedule he gets sick or something takes that time away. A few weeks ago I put it back into the schedule but I never picked a day, I only spoke of it the night before, I reckon so he would not think about and find a way to get out of it. He knows its only going to be from 1 to 2 hours max. Last week Tony did the unthinkable, he swept a small pile of dirt/dust in a pile, the whole time me saying please stop, its not good for you to breathe. And he was sick afterwards a couple days. So this week he was reluctant to do the hour. Most everything is trash but as most know hoarders, they do like to see what it is inside those rotting boxes or tubs. Friday I announced we would get this on Saturday, but that did not happen, he was sickly. So Sunday when I announced "I" would go do it, he agreed to go, I told him to sit on the porch and I would bring the stuff outside and he could toss it in the trash can. When the trash can was filled, we stopped, washed our hands and left. On the way home Tony said " I need a mask and not the paper kind so I can help you finish the floor joists and we can put up the sheet rock." I agreed to find one, like a gas mask. Its much easier to work there in the fall and winter, it was so hot yesterday evening but I got that couple of hours of work in, I am now seeing half a room I did not see before. As much as I love this 100 year old house and how cheap it is to live there, I am not so sure I could again, the houses are so close and everyone has their nose in your business. I talk about renting it out but I have also thought about selling it. To get the best price I will have to repair and doll it up but that is nothing new to me, I know how to get all that done. Back to the point, giving an hour or two is the easiest way I have found to deal with a hoard of things that has been packed up for years and years. And NO, its not like the t.v. shows of food and feces, its junk. How is your day going? Accomplished any super clean out lately?
