Cleaning...

We have this laundry list of items that need to be completed around the house. Yesterday and today, I tackled the ventahood grease trap. Ugh, it was disgusting. It's probably been 10 years since that thing was cleaned, if that recently. I tried to buy a new one, but the size and shape isn't anywhere to be found. I attacked it yesterday with some Dis-Solv-It, and it did a good job. Then today I resoaked it in a ton of Greased Lightning I found in the garage. It looks brand new! Now I just have to attack the ventahood itself!

Hubby cleaned the vines around the A/C so they didn't wind themselves around the inside of the unit.

I also cleaned the recycling trash can so it didn't get too stinky.

We also had a really weird pile of soil at the corner of our lot, and we scraped that up and put it in the wheelbarrow for it's inaugural run. It was like a piece of sod, it had such an amazing root system! There were even earthworms living in it. The curb has some writing on it, and it's too dirty to read right now but it's a company name and it looks like it says 1977, which would be the right age for our curb since our house was built in 1978.

One of my chores was to clean out old, expired medicines. We have so many leftover from when I broke my foot. It's quite the rainbow of colors, there were so many it filled up the palms of my hands. I dropped them in the toilet, and as soon as they hit the water I thought of all the news lately about medicines in the water supply.
