Time to Wash The Floor

Gosh, I am a procrastinator! I want to ease into retirement so I took today off to have lunch with Hubby and a friend. The lunch got canceled so I find myself with a free day at home to "catch up". It's 11:00 am and I have had breakfast but nothing is done! I posted two hours ago on my House Work "support group" that I was going to wash the floor. My house is to the point, I want to hire someone to put it in order. But then I would have to work more! Okay, time to Wash the LR floor. That will feel better. EDITED: 40 minutes later it's washed, coffee break and admire my clean floor

I should join the housework support group...It is always the last thing to get done, and you can tell.

@paigea - Mopping the floor is a never ending story, I often wonder how the dust forms. You mop every day and there is new dust every day.

@LadyDuck I live on a gravel road. Across the road is a grain field. The dust is relentless.

You did it ! Clean and shiny floors ! That's another thing on my house work list that needs to get done - probably not today though .

Just about every room in my house needs a good mopping. Our floors are uneven so that makes the chore fun. I'm glad you managed to do something productive with your free time.

@paigea Yep. I still have dishes to do, but I also need to sit still for the cat.

@spiderdust Yes, there was old carpet here when we bought it. It was nice to get rid of it. Still have it in the spare bedroom though.

@paigea I've always preferred hard surface floors as opposed to carpeting. It's so much easier to clean the hard surface.

Your floor is gorgeous! It’s been cold so I’ve been home all week and my house is looking great after neglecting it a bit all summer while it was nice weather.

Thank-you. Sounds like you're all caught up with your house. I've had lots of time to do that this week, but didn't accomplish it!

We have a set routine. I get the floor swept twice a week and swabbed once a week.

All of my floors are wood except the dining room ,the kitchen and the bathroom. It seems like I am always sweeping and mopping floors.
