Clean Sweep took a "vacation" the last couple of weeks, but returned to duty this week. This week's clean sweep was not about getting rid of unwanted items, it was about doing projects in preparation for putting the house on the market. We took a trip to Lowe's on Saturday and spent more than $300 on paint, a storm door, deck stain, and many other items needed to make minor repairs and improvements to the house. The projects will take us approximately 2 - 3 weeks to complete depending on the weather. After that, it will be back to purging the unwanted, unneeded items that are cluttering up our house.
Some of these projects will actually help us use some items that we would normally end up purging. For instance, we will be painting our front door to match the shutters. One painted, we will then install a brass kickplate on the door that we bought 3 years ago but never used. We will also use the six gallons of paint we purchased last year for repainting the foundation, but had to put off until the drainage system was repaired.
Stay tuned to see what the Clean Sweep throws out next week.
