Last update of the day

So. There it is, then. Or rather, there it isn't.

I have shifted books, hauled up carpet, hoovered, used tools until my hands bled (to uplift and remove nasty carpetspikes) and hoovered again.

I should probably go over it all by hand, to remove any remaining nails, tacks, staples and sundry other nasties before I find them with my feet. Or - worse! - the kitties find them for me.

And if I'm doing that, I guess soap and water would be no bad thing. Much filth has been revealed. I can has a clean floor, but only if I clean it.

Meantime, first drink of the day. Yay. How abstemious am I?

I hate reno stuff. The only thing that ever really feels like it cleans well enough after you disturb everything is a flame thrower.

Or as Ripley would say, take off and nuke the site from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.
