Spring cleaning breakdown
We powered through it. The house positively sparkles, and most of the clutter is gone, or at least packed into boxes for the time being. I coughed and hacked my way through the project last week, and then the people came to look at the house on Saturday and it became painfully clear that they were using our house as a cost comparison tool. They stayed maybe 90 seconds and hopped back in their cars, and I successfully fought the urge to bare my ass and raise my tallman fingers in protest as they drove away.
Talk about anticlimactic.
"Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon?"
