Overcast
gloomy cold weather has arrived in the latter half of November and
the bright candles are now cheerful rather than pallid. This shot
shows how my berry-scented hallway now looks when I am rushing up and
downstairs on a gloomy morning, with a bright and cheerful glow of
encouragement.
I
have not been lazy - the former pink n white room is now a
functioning coffee-hide, if somewhat unfinished. Let me show you how
this happened. Mid November was chilly and dull, so I enjoyed
whooshing about warming myself up doing the chores. Running low of
such, I took the opportunity of a slightly warmer day to work on the
next big task of transforming the room.
These
two shots show where I began. I firstly shook out the linoleum mat
and swept up the dead leaves and mud from the pathway through the
side of the room. Next, I moved everything I could to the pathway
area - blocking the back door. The fact that my son was off from work
for two nights and would not be using the door to enter/exit by
helped - just in case I got lazy and it took longer than one day.
Out
came the bucket and broom with some vinegar water and I scrubbed the
floor over one more time. Window wide open to dry the floor quickly,
I took a quick jahe wangi break before continuing. As soon as it had
dried out, it was time to get the rest of the large roll of linoleum
I had purchased a year or two ago to line the toilet and bathroom
floors. This had to be roll-carried into the correct room. Luckily it
was not too heavy and the task was not too difficult.
