My list was so long and I did not get them all done. Progress!
- When your mother tells you not to put tape on the wall, please listen to her. There was a wall in the kitchen that had tape and other adhesive products on the wall. To make it even more of a challenge, some of the tape and other sticky stuff had been painted over. It took a while, but I did manage to get the tape off and prime and paint the affected walls. I am still working on the hinges and cabinets--I am expecting some soy stripping gel in the mail and I will let you know how that goes.
- Laundry room, primed and painted--no more water stains! New lights in the kitchen and laundry room coming soon...
- Patio furniture repaired and painted. Mostly done--I have one bench and one arch left to sand and paint. The patio at The Manor is a very popular sitting area for guests and owners alike, so we are trying to keep it special! We did have one setback when our porch swing suffered a fatal error. Lee is working on it. :)
- Okay, so I tried waxing the wood floor in one area to test out the idea of waxing. We have decided against it. Both of us almost bit it multiple times. Slick floor=bad idea. I will continue to look for some way to improve the look of the floor and protect it that does not involve possible broken limbs.
- Finished cleaning hallway light globes, transoms, and paneling. Perhaps finished is not the right word. I did clean them, but as you know, they will need it again. The transoms and hallways were part of the BIG summer clean. As soon as it cools off, I am planning to do the windows--on the outside.
- Best for last--Lee fixed Winged Victory and she is now in her forever home (we hope) in front of the Manor. In the Spring, she was injured in an auto accident and one of her wings broke off. She had now been restored to her former glory. Big Thank you to Clarke and Lee. :D
