Kathy
and I had already discussed what we would be doing today before going
to bed last night. When I woke just before 8:00 this morning
something just seemed strange so I immediately when on the prowl.
There was nothing inside the apartment out of place so that meant I’d
have to look outside. The Sun was hidden behind a wall of
Clouds but yet everything appeared bright. That’s when I
looked down at the parking lot and neighbouring rooftops to see
everything starting to turn White.
It
wasn’t long before Kathy was joining me and we had breakfast only
to finish our Coffee/Tea at the Computers. I barely had
time to read some of the Blogs we follow when I stopped to get
my regular morning chores done. With that complete I was soon digging
in the Storage Room to gather the Cleaning
Supplies that I needed.
Since
the Desk is located on the Ceramic Tiles that lead
through the apartment it had to be moved so those Tiles could
have their Grout cleaned. Kathy had cleaned the Tile in
the Bathroom, and the Kitchen out towards the Dining
Room. I had pitched in and cleaned the Hallway from our
Door to the Living Room. Today we planned to complete
the job.
Before
Kathy could return to the Living Room I was already
moving our Desk away from the wall so that I could get
started. One thing that I made certain was not to unplug our Modem.
The last time I did that we lost our Internet Connection
and had to go to the local outlet at the Devonshire
Mall to get the Modem replaced.
The Wires are still connected to the Modem behind the Desk. You can see the Cleaner on the Tiles where the Desk will sit. |
Even
though the Wires were still connected from the Desk to
the Wall I simply worked from both ends of the Desk to
reach all the Grout. That
was when the Sun made its Twenty Minute appearance for
the day. When behind the Desk was finished
Kathy had me stop for lunch. She made us Mixed Berry covered
Waffles with Berry Berry Tea as a refreshment. It was
all delicious.
While
she cleaned up the Dishes I started applying the Toilet
Bowl Cleaner on the Tiles from the Storage Room
past the Bathroom, past the Bedroom all the way to the
edge of the Kitchen. I had barely finished that when it was
time to start using our Rubbermaid Grout Cleaning Tool which
saved a lot of scrubbing with a small brush. As soon as I had gone
over all the Grout lines it was time to start from the
beginning to wash it all off. The Tiles had a shine to them we
had not seen since we moved in.

It
was shortly after 4:00 when the task of cleaning all the Grout
in our apartment was finished. Since I had left the Desk where
it had been moved to allow the Tiles to completely dry it was
time to put it back. Looking at the Before and After it
was well worth the effort to clean up the Ceramic Tiles in our
Apartment.

I
managed to get things ready for a few more projects that I’ll get
into tomorrow. Even with plans made they can still be
changed.
We cooked a
Store Bought Thin
Crust
Spicy Chicken Pizza in
the oven for our late supper while we watched a couple more Hallmark
Christmas
Movies.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Plans are always changing! So many variables you can't change. It is best to have plans B-Z as backups! You guys did an amazing job with the grout! I hope Kathy isn't suffering too much today.
ReplyDeleteWow ... I cannot believe how dirty those grout lines were. That's amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThat tile floor looks new. Can't believe it came that clean.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the tile looks really good. But your both happy that job is done
ReplyDeleteYou all did an amazing job on the tiles it is like night and day. I still think with all the cleaning and fixing you have done since you moved you should get a credit on your rent.
ReplyDeleteWatched a Hallmark movie last night and thought of you guys.
Those before and after pictures are a tribute to your hard work!
