Housecleaning Fun

Today I made my 12th trip in 3 weeks to Willmar for chiropractor appointments.

I brought the trailer with, and must admit it's a little tricky to hook it up by pushing down on the tailgate and trying to get the hitch to land on the ball than it is to just grab it by the hitch and drop it on.

But I'm feeling better, and hope to be able to get back to my home improvement projects soon, so I brought it with to get that arbor-archway thing I mentioned earlier.
(From Menards. 25% off even!)

On the way home I stopped in Clara City at the nursery along the road and bought a set of wind chimes I liked. They have a pleasing sound, although I don't have a ladder long enough to hang it high enough for the wind to really work it's magic on it. I've seen even larger versions of these wind chimes in Marshall that have magnificently deep, resonating sounds - but I'm still young enough where it's hard to justify the $17o+ price tag.

Maybe next year.
(Unless they run a half-price sale. Then you know it's gonna be mine!)

But that's all beside the point. I have something else to share with you.
For the first time ever, I'm looking forward to house cleaning!

In my last blog entry I'd mentioned that I Velcroed dish scrubby-pads to my feet and cleaned the floor that way. Well, I got to thinking about that - and if I can Velcro them to my feet then I should be able to get scrubby-pads to stick to my mouse/palm sander!

Hello!

If this works my kids will be fighting for the privilege to clean the floor!
And we can't let them fight, now. Can we? No-Sir-Ree-Bob!
I will then have reason to buy 2 more palm sanders!
(One for each of us, see?)

Of course, there's also the chance that this could wreck the linoleum.
And, well...
that might suck.

But if I have to take the kitchen appliances out to put new flooring in, there'd be a good chance of those same appliances not finding their way back in. (Silver lining - with a price tag.)

Anyway, I'll be sure to keep you posted on the results.

Stay tuned to this frequency for further details...
