Cleaning & Packing Day 8

11 days until the move: Today has been rather productive. I started cleaning around 10. And spent the rest of the day trying to get the house cleaned up for Kevin to show. He was supposed to show the house between 5:30 and 6:00. The kitchen has been cleaned again, the floor swept and mopped. I even packed up some of the spare dishes that we don't need. A few lose odds and ends.

The dining room has also been cleaned out. All the extra garbage laying around has been tossed into the trash, and the other stuff got packed up. I swept the floor but no mopping. I also swept the entry way, and moved all the packed boxes from the living room into the dining room where they would be out of the way.

The bathroom has been cleaned. I washed the counters and toilet. I packed up all the stuff on the shelves that I could fit into a box. I need to mop the floor in there I think. I cleaned the counters and toilet in the back bathroom also.

Tragedy struck when I was vacuuming the carpet in the living room. The belt on the vacuum broke. I was due time, I'd been expecting it. I found the book and the spare belt they gave us and replaced the belt. After cleaning out the filters and emptying the tank on the vacuum I finished up the living room and worked my way down the hall way. After the hallway I popped into the computer room. Which doubles and the cats room. About half way through the room the vacuum started smoking and I heard a snapping sound. After taking the vacuum apart I found that the roller on the brush broke off. It is apparently made of really cheap plastic that melts really easy.

After the day spent packing and cleaning Kevin showed up and informed me the guy that was supposed to look at the house isn't coming until tomorrow. So now we have until 3:00 tomorrow to clean up. Which gives me time to vacuum the down stairs. Cam went looking for the right part, and when he couldn't find it he just bought a new vacuum.

Kevin pointed out a few things that need to be straightened up, but nothing I didn't know about anyway. So I guess it's more cleaning for tomorrow. With any luck I can get it done in time.
