Basement

Baby steps on recovering the basement.

I’m just trying to clean the floor before putting things “away.” This entails moving things out and off of an area so the floor is accessible. Then sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping. And each thing I pick up begs the question of should it be retained, moved on, or thrown out. I can’t answer most of the keep or not questions on my own. And the partner in these questions isn’t in the same head space as I am. I think  I am more able to focus on this task because I have a time void that work used to fill. He, on the other hand, has well established routines and things he does.

Plus, final destination questions aside, where does it sit while moved. It’s rather exhausting. And it’s generally dusty and full of cobwebs in the corners.

Essentially it’s taking quite a bit longer to accomplish than I thought it would. I completed about 30 square feet today. But I have time, right?

This is a move to another place, where these floor tiles can be used. Not here.

    That sounds like a worthy project although not super pleasant. I was very into getting things done when I first retired but then got too lazy. There’s so much around here I should organize/clean out.
