Stand by, because this spring clean project may take me a lot longer than I anticipated. I remember now why I never wanted a two-story house. Now we have one, so I better get in shape so I can climb the teensy stairs daily. There is always a "treasure" hidden somewhere causing a foul odor. Like today.
I have dropped all the dirty clothes and sheets to the bottom of the stairs, washed 3 loads of it, scrubbed mattresses, and put a reused shower curtain up for a closet door. The upstairs is one main area, like in most old farm houses. Someone, over the years, built a bedroom wall and door in the opposite end, creating a second bedroom. Both have long closets, but no doors. Luckily I still has a tension curtain rod, an old plain cotton white shower curtain, and believe it or not, still had hooks. In no time I had the closet covered.
Now I need to replace all the tiny kids clothes hangers with adult sized, vacuum and shampoo the carpet, clean the windows, and put up a curtain rod for one of the windows. They destroyed the tension rod I had in the window, so this time a different one is going up. I may have fabric to avoid buying curtains also.
It's been several hours and I am bone tired. I even washed out dresser drawers. Phew! I think an iced tea is in order.
