Just back down from a stint of Room prep, OMG give me strength. Good thing I only took 1/2 sheet of paper to write the to-do list, because I filled THAT up in no time. I did do some of the easy-peasy ones, like hanging up the (non-playable) bowlback mandolin to direct attention to the clothes hooks I also put up... I gathered up yet more trash..... Faulkner hung out.

I took down our band sign to put up the hooks. :~(

And oh I finished making up the double bed with a pretty topper, and moved the oil rad to a better location so the snack fridge could be left running....

Made a list of needed hardware-- my first and minimal purchases to get this space ready to make me some money. I really did have nearly every item I needed, as God has kept telling me for the last year in so many circumstances. "You already have everything you need...." Example: each and every bedsheet I reached for fit perfectly, with just enough to do the job and leave a spare set for our July AC re-occupation.

Still, it felt like a black hole of impossibility, so I took down all the window-coverings to let in the light! I will want to photo it in good light anyway. Tenant can close them all back up for warmth!


The plan is to start showing it no sooner than Saturday, tho I am sure I can shoehorn in the time to get it all done by then; it's just like the annual MIL visit except I'm doing this Room this year instead of the LR/allergen sweep because she can't make it this year-- her appendix burst about a month ago and she's not out of rehab in time for the annual first-week-of-October visit. And I have to clean the kitchen and loo to show, but I have learned that I can whip that in an intense hour.


HOCKEY starts Oct. 7 so I have to get to the LR stuff by then because we threw out a nasty recliner ydy. A bit premature, but before bedtime I went and dumped OJ all over it so-- bye-bye, filthy, broken PRISON of a chair... and in with a lightweight zero-grav temp replacement from the camping set.

Ydy I also took up a 2-1/2 gal container of non-fracked-up water for the tenant. We don't drink the well water, and I hope they don't either.
