Tom, it looks great! I haven't heard of a company called BM before. I'll have to look up that color. Everyone in the house likes blue. I may end up painting the laundry room cabinets blue instead of white. Too bad I'm not in your area. I like painting. Give me a roller or brush & my happy a$$ will paint away for hours.
Floorist, it's also a shame I don't live near you because I like plumbing (although I'm not confident enough to sweat copper).
I've noticed the edge of one of my cabinets is getting water damage from when I've been washing dishes- spray goes everywhere & the poly must have worn off. Going to have to sand a bit and put a fresh coat of poly on. I'll bring the can I left at my friend's house. It's waterproof & fast drying. Then I will have to guard it to keep the cats away.
My thyroid meds were working better today & my back was doing a little better so I got more work done in terms of cleaning. I got my brother to help a little. He's supposed to take the trash out but he just piles them in the front room. I'm guilty of leaving them in the front room because I have a hard time lifting & carrying them all the way to the burn pile. I hauled bags to the front door and tossed them on the porch so he could haul them to the burn pile. He complained because he wanted me to go out and haul them all the way to the burn pile too but the heat was too much for me. He was mad that I didn't want to go out in the heat, bragged that he wasn't even sweating-- he works in a kitchen where it's hot all the time, I almost keeled over from the heat when I opened the door. He started lecturing me about how I need to suck it up and "push through the inconvenience". He weighs over 300lbs now & does nothing but stuff his face & play computer games all day. He hasn't hauled trash out in 6 months. He's only taken trash out of the bins in the kitchen about 3x this year but he left them in the front room. I'm constantly having to pick up after him. Anyway, I ignored his BS & continued picking stuff up to haul out. After all the bags were out but there were still a bunch of boxes piled up, he said he was done. I asked him to please help with the boxes & he said I should do it myself. I told him my back was giving out on me (at that moment it was). Plus a bunch of the bags had ripped & stuff had spilled out. So we got the boxes to the door & he took them to the burn pile. I was then sweeping up a bunch of stuff that had spilled out. One of the boxes had a mouse nest with fire ants & it stunk. Picked it up and a mouse jumped out & the nesting spilled all over. Dufus was holding the bag for me while I dumped the crud I swept up into it. He didn't like the smell so he dropped the bag & told me I was on my own. Whined about his lungs. I stopped myself from telling him he should push through the inconvenience. Next time he whines though, that's what I'm going to tell him.
I filled 3 contractor bags with the crud that was left in the front room. All that remains now is a box with his bedding/laundry. I even hauled one of his bags that he'd dumped from his bedroom out into the hallway to the laundry room. Other two bags were too heavy for me so I left them. He told me when I was done bagging stuff to let him know so he could haul it to the burn pile. Big surprise, he wussed out and said "I'll do it in the morning". which means I'm going to have to get my friend to help me tomorrow bc there's no way fatso is going to get up and do it. He said he was going to get the trash out of the bathroom but he didn't.
I also cleaned up in the kitchen, put away leftovers he didn't put up, and dumped out stuff he left sitting that he said he was going to put away. Then I changed the HVAC filters because I found a box of new filters in the mess in the front room. Oh, and I realized that two of the ceiling fans were spinning the wrong way so I turned them off, climbed up, and flipped the switch to make them spin correctly. And I changed litterboxes & cleaned up in the hallway. Caught a cat trying to pee near my mother's door & set the cat in the fresh litterbox.
Sorry for all the griping. LOL. Need someone to vent to sometimes. My friend said he'd come over sometime to help with vacuuming-- if I can find my damn vacuum cleaner. I think that carpet needs to be steam-cleaned. More likely, it needs to be pulled up and thrown out & we need to put down some other type of flooring that is waterproof. But it's a HUGE room.
If I don't sleep all day tomorrow, I'm going to work on cleaning it more.
Right now I have a headache but it's starting to fade a little. Naproxyn finally kicking in.
