Comments for Spring Cleaning Round 1

TargetSpring Cleaning Round 1: 03/03/07

Ian and I had a number of things we wanted to accomplish today and of our list we managed to complete half. The biggest hindrance to our chores today was exhaustion. For stupid reasons Ian and I didn't sleep well last night.

The two important things we accomplished were the hanging of a row of hooks for our jackets on the stairs and the building of Sean's new desk. Sean now has a computer set up next to his bed. Tomorrow we will install the software he has been using on his machine. No internet for him for awhile though!

We have also bought a small set of drawers for our upstairs closet to use for our linens and towels. We still need to put it together. We also have a towel rack and shelf thing to build for our downstairs bathroom.

Our final task is the bolting of our bookshelves to the walls. We've been meaning to this now since we moved in and haven't gotten around to it. Earlier this week we had a 4.2 earthquake in Lafayette and it was a stern reminder.
