Master Bedroom Cleaning 02/23/2019

These four first photos are to show the difference with the cleaning of the wall.  

You, hopefully can see the section that I was able to get scrubbed this weekend.  It's a whole different shade of Purple.  Once the wash is complete, I will put a base coat of KILZ paint over the wall to extinguish the smoke smell.  Jason said it is VERY much noticeable different smell already.  Which made me feel really good.

Tap the photo to enlarge it:

Did the panorama below.  it was originally all the way around the room, but somehow got cut off without showing the window and balcony side.

The desk was together with those dance iKEA allen Wrench screws, which created and issue (read the Basement post to know the rest of that) but then I realized, and IKEA desk falls apart with a dirty look.  grabbed a corner, and this thing basically peeled apart waaaay to easily.  It served its purpose, but deserved to be recycled.

The space was a cleaning..... adventure.

Please note, garbage bags get filled with "Like" clothing (pants in one, shirts in another) and are getting taken from the home with each visit, to get laundered.  And these don't even include the closet clothes yet, these are just from the drawers.

I found a lamp in the basement on my journey down there (see earlier post) and when Jason saw it he mentioned it was his, but he thought a former roommate had absconded with it.  Funny enough, the lampshade for it was in the living room still. (You may see it in Livingroom photos on the floor near the fireplace originally).  I tighten the drawer handles on the little dresser, and repositioned the computer on it, and recooked it up.

The Tiffany lamp in these photos came from my house before I realized there's like 17 lamps in the basement that I could have used.  The room was just real dark, and I needed something to help when it would get darker.

This big chest will have many many things for you to go through.  I am storing items in there as I find them.  The tall chest by the bed is completely empty.  And the fridge is still taped sealed, but running.  Whatever was causing the stench you smelled Josette, is still in there, but at least it's not getting heated in there.  P.s.  Note the silver DVD player behind the TV.  I gave that to Mickee many many years ago.  I found it in the closet. with the remote.  Plugged it in, and it still works.  or, at least turns on.  I have yet to find the remote for the TV so I can turn that on.  All he had out was the remote for the DISH box.

Reminder, Dish TV still needs to be notified via the address I had sent you with a Death certificate.  They then need to send a shipping package for me to ship the box back to them.  Not sure if that's been done yet.  At the very least, the automatic withdrawal from his account has been stopped.

Upstair Bathroom Upgrade 02/23/2019

This took 10 hours, and I learned a lot more about the difference between house plumbing and condo plumbing.... you may thing plumbing is plumbing, it aint.

Before

I never noticed how low this sink was.  

Note it was at the same height, almost, as the top of the toilet back.

Seriously, check your toilet in your home, and image a bathroom counter that same height.  

At Mickee's height, I really have to wonder why was this so low?  Dave?!!

"Dave" was Mickee's friend at the parking ramp where he worked.  Dave was the person who installed this.  I have a few choice words for Dave.

After

This feels soooooo good to have done.

Also, the drain is now fully snaked.  

I also took all the towels (asking Jason which were his first) from the Hamper, and the room, and laundered them all.  For one guy, he had a fair share of towels.  

The Kitchen Pantry 02/23/2019

Sahara said she is open to coming in this weekend and going through this pantry to get rid of old food items, and clean this space... Good, sealed, not-beyond-expiration food items will be kept.

Sahara, please remember we need to speak to Jason first.  

Pretty sure he said everything in this pantry was Mickees and not his.

This space will be used as the safe-haven for Cookie Jars that we find.

The food below will be left in the basement for now, but if time permits, we may 

move it to the pantry to help clear the space, and better centrally locate things of "like nature, "

(Foods, electronics, lamps, cookie jars, etc.)

Cookie Jars 02/23/2019

The plan is to clean out the Kitchen Pantry, and move all the cookie jars 

into that space as a safe haven to keep them all together.

Basement as of 02/23/2019

I fought the fear, and entered the basement.... during the daylight only.  I also was needing Allen wrenches to go at the desk upstairs in the bedroom, but sadly, found none.

Plenty here for you to view though, and note the location of heirlooms you may see.

Funny thing to note, that yellow scooter was mine from when I was a child.  I must have given it to Mickee at some point for some random reason.  That made me smile.... and raise an eyebrow.

Not, the picture above is shot using panorama, so if the beeps appear to bend, they aren't, its the image.... at least I'm pretty sure its the image.

The Cookie Jars above will be moved to the Kitchen Pantry for safe keeping.

Went through here quick, so the picture above helped me notice, there is a toilet seat buried in this around back.... you can just barely see the handle.

saw tools, went closer to see if allen wrenches were available....

Reached out to pull beads to the side.

crapped my pants.

Good to note.  Nicely labeled.

Random Kitchen as of 02/23/2019

Please keep in mind, I am unsure of what belongs to Jason and what was Mickee's.  These are just for your review, as you may spot a specific heirloom, and note where it is.
