Actually, although I DO sandblasting on glassware and tools in the shop, and water blasting on the deck, concrete, and more, I am using the kitchen sink and cleaners for today’s project of scrubbing out all our trash containers, putting in trashcan liners (as I SHOULD have long ago) and putting things back together.
I’m getting several messages from this project –
- I’m spending much of the day doing something I COULD have avoided if I had put trashcan liners in all the containers when they were clean, umpteen years ago
- Scrubbing out trash cans is a LOT of work
- Putting the clean trash cans with fresh liners back gives me good exercise – particularly the ones that belong upstairs
- We have a LOT of trash cans! Since I’m scrubbing them all, I’m counting – and we have 21 trash cans inside this house!
I have SIX remaining to scrub, line, and put back.
If I still have energy, I’m planning to clean out the double cabinet area under the kitchen sink. (Can you imagine – things tend to fall out of there whenever I try to get something!) :0(
With these two projects for the day and my 35 minutes on my elliptical trainer, I can feel good about my activity level today.
