A short but productive day

Since we were seeing family tonight, we had a short day but made a big difference. C cleaned and rearranged the office, giving us a lot more space. Before, you could hardly walk and now you can move more freely and there is space to use the computer. He also did a bunch of vacuuming, which is a constant need in a construction zone. Our shop vac gets a lot of use. I managed to clear the kitchen countertops of all the debris from the last few weeks. It takes daily vigilence to keep up with construction debris - manuals, packages, misc parts, trash, etc. We are looking forward to finally getting rid of a bunch of empty boxes - before we had the filtered water tap, we were buying bottled water all the time and the recycling was too full every week to fit much beyong what daily living generated. Now I'm pleased to say we are generating a lot less recycling and will be able to start tackling the pile of boxes.
