On
Friday, two days after the lino was delivered, I got tools from the
shed and began to scrape old wallpaper from the wall which had been
enclosed in the closet. I figured that even if it looked ugly, it
needed to be done before cleaning up.
It
took me 3 shifts of around 10-15 minutes each. I was not being lazy,
but once again, my father's meals got in the way. First I had to heat
up a pair of crumpets and deliver them to him – and later on remove
the empty plate and tray...
I
began to wipe over the wall, pipes, ledge, floor, and undersink –
only to find the next hindrance. The white paint was flaking off and
the mucky gunk behind the pipes was too much for one cloth. Having a
sinus headache building up, I decided to postpone in order to tackle
a thorough cleaning Saturday.
The mask is a good idea in that small space with all kinds of junk getting stirred up. Can the window be opened to keep it ventilated?
ReplyDeleteYes, I leave the window open for a couple hours most days - the upstairs of the house has fresh air!
