1st Storage Area - Water Heater Closet then Bathroom

 

Once we finished our bedroom we moved to a small project.  It is important not to feel overwhelmed with just all the big stuff.  This cupboard had a lot of junk that needed sorting plus the workout bench.  Paper products and the carpet washers and cleaners were in the guest room closet.  That needed to move so it would be a closet for DD.  

We cleared and purged the top shelf from all extra stuff.  Bathroom stuff went into the bathroom.  The workout bench had been put into our room to make it easier for our workouts.  That made space for all the vacuum stuff to go into this cupboard. Of course as you can see the paper products went onto the top shelf.  

Of course, before everything was placed in here the walls were washed along with the shelf, the water heater and the carpet below.  

This was a quick morning job and gave us a lot of satisfaction getting stuff out of the guest room and purging a lot of the stuff that one just stuffs someplace for now.  

Next day we moved onto the bathroom.  

This room is a little trickier as being small only one person can really work in here at a time.  So, since hubby and I work super well together as he loves the main washing, cleaning part and I love the sorting purging part we could work in separate areas.  

I pulled everything out and into another room to sort and purge.  Checking expiration dates on over the counter stuff as well as stuff we no longer use (non-medical stuff).  The drawers and cupboards got washed out and put back with everything being put in a better order.  That included the things that were stuffed in the water heater closet because there was now room for those things.  

I cleaned pictures and mirrors while hubby did the walls and floor.  Once again this was a single day job, a bit longer than the storage closet but certainly not more than a few hours.  

So, that meant one bedroom, one storage cupboard and the bathroom purged, cleaned and finished.  

I made a Meatzza pizza for supper that night just to celebrate a great start to the fall cleaning.  

And so that is it for today with more of the fall purge/cleaning tomorrow.
