Good morning, gentlemen!
Good morning, ladies!
Useful thread bttt. :)
Morning All!
We have a greenhouse in my yard; tomatoe shoots are already up. Expect to plant more seeds this weekend and ultimately take down the greenhouse mid-May when the fear of frost is over (N. Illinois).
I am doing my mom's taxes today. I usually get them done by February *lol*
My wife told me she wants a separation, so She can clean the house. I will still plant flowers for her with my daughters come Mothers Day, because nothing will change the fact she is the mother of my kids.
Here's muh "spring cleaning" tips:
When it's spring cleaning time, I usually dip them in a can of gasoline, taking care not to create sparks and start a fire.
Paint thinner works ok if the springs aren't too greasy.
Very large springs I take to the local car wash, while cotton ear swabs are perfect for cleaning very small springs....
Oh my list!!!
I have to switch the closets, take down screens and wash them, wash windows, reorganize the basement, lose 10 pounds. You know, the usual stuff!
We're having a strange spring in N. California. We're getting lots of rain still. Usually it really clears up in March, but we're still getting it. At least now, we're getting a few sunny days in between.
Anyway, my point is that I haven't really done all that spring cleaning because it still feels like winter around here.
I did manage to do one thing. After 9 months since we moved, I have finally unpacked our garage. On the nice days, I have been busy working in the garage. I have one more thing to do before it is really ready for business. I bought a dresser and a hutch last year for my daughter. It needed to be painted. I finished the dresser in the fall. I do a lot of the work outside, and I still need to do the hutch. I'm hoping I finish it next week, then I'll put away the painting supplies. Yea!!!
I also cleaned out my wonderful refrigerator. Yuck!
I need to plant some flowers around my yard. That's one of my big items.
Here's a housecleaning secret I discovered when I was trying to be three people at once: you don't have to do it.
Get a flame thrower! Takes care of all those papers, debris, old clothes, etc. Might need to get a permit first.
