Rudolph Day Again

Yesterday was Rudolph Day again. I made a small quick order. I hope that's the last of it for Hubby. I just got a gift for my Aunt too. I also ordered some gel fuel for the fireplace. I moved some more dirt today. Got half of one side of the house done. It's raining on and off today so it's free watering.

HHP

I deep cleaned the downstairs bathroom this morning. It's also the laundry room. I finished up a few loose ends from other rooms I've already cleaned like touching up paint and cleaning the hallway light glass. We decided to get the new carpet upstairs so in the next couple of weeks that should arrive. I'll have to vac and clean quickly before putting the furniture back in. I hope it doesn't make too much of a mess. Over the weekend we moved a lot of dirt. We created a nice neat Jeep parking area with blocks and crushed rock and then we moved at least a yard and half of crushed rock out of the area. We have fresh dirt and seeds around the area. It looks so much better. I will take pix when the grass starts coming in. I'll be moving more dirt after lunch today.

HHP

I've been keeping way ahead in the cleaning department. I cleaned the spare bedroom and the upstairs hallway so all the carpets upstairs have been cleaned. However, we're considering just getting the new carpet for up there now and the thing holding me back is that I already cleaned the rooms, but maybe it won't be bad to get the new carpet anyway. The seams in the cheap carpets upstairs are showing. We started to put in the little railing at the top of the stairs to finish off the raw carpet edge so once we finish that it would be nice to have the new carpet to finish it off even more. We'll see. Anyway, today I cleaned the living room a little off plan, but it's the last room that has carpet that needed cleaning. I just have to clean the rug under the dining table and then the steam cleaner can return to the basement. Yesterday, we waxed one of our cars after washing and cleaned the inside. Now when it's time to put it away for the Winter we just have to do a quick wash and cover it. We still have 2 cars that need a wash and wax before Winter. The weather got cooler and we really want to work on the yard, but there's never enough time in the day.

A Little Update

I updated the seasons pictures in the exercise room. I had the Winter picture with the cow and I picked up the other three from the same artist. They're a little more polished than the old pictures that were there.

Let The Cleaning Begin!

The Houseworks Holiday Plan starts today although I started 2 weeks ago. I cleaned the computer room and the file cabinet. I even cleaned the little hallway downstairs. Since, Hubby is working the entire Labor Day weekend I'm taking advantage of it and getting a big jump on the cleaning part of the plan. Yesterday, I cleaned out the craft/exercise room. I made a list of things that need attention (like the window needs cleaning after the AC is taken out, but that won't be for another month probably and I need to switch to the Winter curtains in there). I decluttered a couple of things from that room too. Today, I cleaned the master bedroom and steam cleaned the carpet in there. That room is big and I'm pretty tired, but our room smells wonderfully fresh and clean now. Tomorrow, I'm going to take a little detour from the plan and clean the mud room and decorate it for Fall. It's just a small "room" in the basement so it will be quick and decorating will be fun. I also worked on my master gift list this week and it's all written out. I just have to pick things up in the next few months. I think I have finished Hubby except for stocking stuffers.
