Don't you love checking things off a list? I LOVE IT!!!
Today I was able to check everything off my In-Law house to do list.
Take down all blinds for painter.
Vacuum whole house - including stairs - hate stairs!
Vacuum window sills and baseboards with vacuum attachment.
Change air filters.
Make sure all odds and ends are in closets.
Sweep garage and porches.
Shake out front mat.
Kill spider (well it wasn't on my list but since I did it I added it :)
These were already checked:
Mow and weed yard - this took forever ~ I had really let the backyard go and just kept up on the front.
install appliances ~ thanks Alex although I did help carry and plugged in the oven :)
fix window
fix air conditioner
YEA!!! I am all done! Painter comes Monday and In-Laws come Friday. Once the painter is done we have more work like cleaning bathrooms and buying furniture and stuff but then my mother in law will be in charge and I can just be a helper.
Now on to my house! This weekend I'm taking a break but come Monday...
Curtains need to go through dryer to remove dust, floors scrubbed, carpet steam cleaned, sheets on bed ~ they will stay with us a few days while painting is being finished and they buy furniture, murphey oil cabinets, weed back yard, finish trimming front tree... and I'm sure I'll add more to list... My mother has me programmed to do a full cleaning when guests come and I can't seem to brake the habit!
Oh, and did I mention that my dishwasher is now broken? It continuously cycles and won't let me turn it off :( AHHHH, called someone tonight and they will be out hopefully tomorrow to tell us cost ~ hopefully not to much or it is waiting until payday next Friday... My savings is going to dwindle yet again... Errrr

The dishwasher is broken as in more broken than it already was???
This seems to be the season for things breaking-- our three month old storm door is coming off the doorframe. Already. So the installation people are coming back to see if it's really a warranty covered problem. (What else could it be???)
Did you figure out what to do with the cat?
No, still broken but I found out that my sink was draining into the dishwasher and there was stinky water in there and I couldn't wash dishes anymore. It was only $75.00 so far but we need to buy a new seal (not sure exactly what it is called) and the guy showed Alex how to do it so he didn't have to come back out. Real nice guy, he totally could of charged us for coming out again with the other part and didn't. Thankgoodness!
I hope your door is under warranty!
We left food and left the cat eating with the garage door open and went back out later and it was gone. Hopefully it is ok. I called the # you gave me and they are only open M-F. It is so sad - I so hope somebody didn't move and leave it!
