Subject: RE: Declutter & Fitness - Clearing Out the House
OH:

In 1.5 hours, Brandon and I:

. Brought in, hooked up, troubleshot TV/cable-- need free cable svc call.
. Recovered password off notebook to restore Google acct-- I need to enter it into password doc
. Installed spring-activated door catch on people door to garage from patio. This did not resolve problem, so--
. Adjusted strike plate with clever use of Mortite where there is zero wood for 2nd screw
. Repaired suddenly awful garage door closer mechanism, with 2 pairs of eyes to spot issue and one clever set of fingers to reattach hardware that had popped off
. Planned garage space for kayak to unload on a dry day "soon"
. Planned exact spot for Euonymus he's moving
. Stowed 3 full bags of deadwood he'd picked up ydy-- 2 in trash barrel and one next week to go in barrel
. Eyeballed garden tools and soil amendment items on hand
. Established where household tools, tape, mortite, and garden tools live
. Brought in stealables, meds, and washables from Cruiser
. Cleared a back seat for Newbie
. Set up timesheet memo in my fone for a rolling tab
. Dried the wet gloves he'd left here ydy out in the rain
. Set Judy's vacuum clnr by her bins
. Entertained Newbie.

I ended up with both garage doors functioning normally without specoal fixes to teach senior helpers, and doors I can enter from either direction without having to remember if it's locked from the other side. YAY for grocery mgmt via Bowman driveway parking-- instead of slippery clay to traverse getting between house and Ridgebury driveway. Also no more having to step off curb for street parking. Front parking is now restored to visitor use!

With one more week of sorting files in the garage, I can park in the garage. Only need to move wheelbarrow and pillow bag to fit kayak plus car. Yay!

BRANDON, OTOH, has fall yard work to complete! :-) ??

A "senior helper" can finish Cruiser unloading Tuesday.
