Part way through clearing the left side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Economic woes mean we\u2019re pretty much compelled to let out a room. I recently tidied and rearranged that room (thereby cluttering and devastating the rest of our home!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The cleared right, cluttered with stuff from the left!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But our home as a whole (as a hole?) isn\u2019t fit to let out a room. The living areas, esp\u2019 the kitchen and bathroom, are in an appalling way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So over the weekend, and the last few days, I\u2019ve been trying to make some in-roads. I\u2019ve chiefly concentrated on the kitchen. And it\u2019s slowly improving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cleaned, cleared and reinstated left.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tragically for me, I\u2019m an eedjut. I always intend<\/em> to take before and after shots. But I pretty much always forget to take any before pics. No matter, I\u2019ve taken a load of photos, nonetheless. Sh*t as they are, hopefully they show some changes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ditto, for the right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s still tons to do. I\u2019ve also cleared everything that we formerly stored atop these shelving units. Everything was covered in an horribly greasy layer of icky stuff. It\u2019s mostly gadgets we never ever use. They\u2019re to be measured*, bubble-wrapped, boxed and put in the attic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kitchen units are sh*t. See, for example, how they don\u2019t close properly (fourth pic), \u2018cause they\u2019re not deep enough to take standard sized dinner plates! So I want to totally rebuild our kitchen as soon as I can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the contents of the drawers, which also need tearing out and rebuilding. All the storage also needs either bespoke shaping, or a much greater degree of flexibility, in order to accommodate all our gadgets, gizmos, cutlery, crockery, food and other sundry sh*t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* I need to measure everything so\u2019s when I rebuild I build taking into account specific items. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
