Things on my Summer cleaning checklist:

[McBenny]

1) Rotate and flip mattresses

2) Wash patio/porch

3) Sweep garage (MH does this)

4) Organize pantry

5) Clean refrigerator

6) Wash pillows

7) Clean carpets

8) Clean windows (inside)

9) Ceiling fans

10) Dust door tops

11) Wipe down doors

12) Clean blinds

Anyone have anything else to do.

I also am not convinced I will get my list done. It's just goals.

Oh yes and my oven! I want to clean my oven. It's not good.

I desperately need to wash the curtains. It's been.. a while.
I also need to tend to the windows and scrub DS's room.

I usually empty and clean SD's room while she's gone, but I don't think I'm going to have time this year. She may get to do that herself when she returns from her mom's.

I do bathmats weekly with towels, but I definitely need to do a dusting of blinds, baseboards and mouse abatement. 🤢😷

A mouse family somehow made a spring home in our coat/boot closet and made a damn mess. (I pulled everything out, but need to vacuum/bleach/burn shit down).

On my “would like to do, but damn if it’s this summer” is a little bit of landscaping in the front portion of the yard that we actually use. Grass does not grow here unless you have a gardener to care for it pretty much daily (sandy soil, no sun, pine sap that kills everything), so some sort of hardscape/rock area and drought/freeze resistant plants would be nice.

My back yard is basically a dirt farm with knee high tree weeds. I don’t know what they are but the stalks are almost an inch thick. There’s no weed whacking. You have to pull them each up individually or wait until winter and then they die and get covered in snow. It’s kind of depressing me, because I don’t know what to do about it without spending many thousands of dollars.

Projects are fine. You just reminded me that I am getting the kids' rooms painted.
