Did you know that six-year-old boys are very helpful during a move? I sure didn’t, but I’m finding that out. It helps that my boy thrives on hard work. {Are all boys like that? He’s the only boy I know well right now.} Anyhow, yesterday he and I and my grandfather spent a couple hours at the new house. I was able to clean almost all of the tile floors {which were extremely dusty after this house sat there for so many months} while E. replaced all of the outlet covers using an electric screwdriver and vacuumed out all the drawers and shelves in the kitchen and hall bathroom and my grandfather sanitized the kitchen drawers and shelves.
This is good since wiping high shelves is a precarious task for a large pregnant lady like myself.
And, incidently, how do large pregnant ladies clean tile floors? Using a Hoover FloorMate borrowed from certain Kind and Benevolent Parents, that’s how. Gadgets are so helpful at this stage in life.
So the good news is that the new house is very close to being totally clean and move-in ready. The bad news is that all the cleaning supplies have been at the new house for a number of days and so the old house is almost completely trashed. Good thing I have a few days to deep clean the old house before the final walk-through, and with my friend recommending me to have a look at ElswoodsDirect.com because they sell professional cleaning supplies, I’m hoping the house is going to be spotless!
