House maintanence continued

Been busy with stuff around the house lately. Also had a few days of migraine trouble so really didn’t feel like posting. Got a migraine after playing a tough Ultimate indoor final against the Wolverines; you can read Heath’s great recap here. Who knew there would be so much running in a hat league? Apparently not me as I didn’t prepare for the game (ie. drank very little water all day Sunday) and definitely paid the consequences for 3 days.

Decided that since we had an entire room emptied from painting that we would steam clean our carpets. I’ll admit that in the time that we’ve lived in our house, we have never cleaned them. It took less than a day to do and was SO worth it. The amount of dirt that came out of them was disgusting!

First step, moving all the furniture off of the carpets. Willow managed to find a cozy place to sleep amid the chaos.

Second step, vacuuming for the second time after Bob went home (cat hair everywhere!). Even on the second around go we still got tons of hair. Unless Jeff and I are going gray, I’m pretty sure that’s not our hair:

Step three, cleaning the carpets with the Rug Doctor. Just rented it from Co-op. Cheap and very effective:

Nice work Jeff!

Fourth step, enjoy the nice clean carpets:

Lastly, go to the movies since you can’t sit or step anywhere in your house and there is furniture everywhere!

The next day we did some mopping so all of our floors are spotless and our place looks brand new!
