Spring cleaning

So we’re now at the stage where the days are getting shorter instead of longer. Man, where did this year go? When I was a kid the days just crawled by…now they whip by so fast. :::sigh:::

Summer is, for the most part, here in Montana. Now’s the time for the warm weather tasks that need doing. Most importantly its time to do some spring cleaning and get stuff neatened up. It’s alot easier to do that sort of thing when you can leave the doors open so you can haul stuff out of the house… can’t do that when its ten degrees out.

I had to shuffle alot of stuff around to accommodate the plumbing adventure a few weeks back and it just emphasized that I really need to get rid of junk thats been piling up. Broken power tools, scraps of lumber, things like that.

I envy people that can have an entire building or two on their property to dedicate to storing stuff. Someday I’ll have a place like that, but for now it’s a bit of a challenge utilizing space as efficiently as possible.

My weekdays are a hot mess, but the weekend should give me a chance to get stuff moved around if I can get my butt out of bed nice and early.

I suspect theres a couple more sets of wire shelving from CostCo in my future.

  1. The windows and doors open are great for cleaning, but living off grid I found the biggest reason that cleaning is done in spring-you need to take all the rugs out and beat on them a good long while. When you are a Matt Foley Prepper, a powered vacuum cleaner is a luxury 🙂

    We have a saying here in England, I don’t know if it is in use in America.

    Life is like a toilet roll –
    The closer you get to the end, the faster it seems to go!

    all the best…
