Day 2 - Our bedroom 2 days ago

All caught up. House is now at 51% clean.

GG and I spent an hour cleaning. He was a bit more ambitious than I was about corners and moving the nightstand – oh, the dust bunny horror! Some of the piles that ever elude us remain but it’s clean. It even smells clean!

A few more things done in the bathroom and a few more kitchen items completed – mostly stove related.

Today I’m planning to finish the bathroom after my shower since most of the tasks there are shower related. I’m also going to get the kitchen counters and cabinet fronts done and then just an hour! on the living room and entryway.
