When the washer was moved for repair today the dust behind it was as yucky as can be expected. That section of flooring is covered with poorly-attached squares of vinyl flooring put down before I bought the house. They're coming loose, and since I have a box of a better quality of vinyl flooring and the proper underlayment liquid treatment for the concrete surface I can do this in stages, a row of squares at a time that can sit undisturbed for a few days before moving the washer and putting down the next row (the laundry room is about 40sf total). The rest of the house has tile floors. I could vacillate over this forever - tile or vinyl in there. Or I could just do it.

A load of laundry is running just over a week after the washer pump went offline. While waiting for the repairman I cleaned around the house (floors in the halls, sunroom and kitchen). Baking this evening to have healthy snacks (crispy pecans).
