Office makeover.... Day 1
For such a relatively small room, the office contains a LOT of stuff. Aside from two desks, a filing cabinet, 2 sets of bookshelves, 2 office chair and Small Dog's bed, there is all the paraphernalia which running a small business requires..... 2 computers, printer, router, phone, assorted software and books, printer paper and card, envelopes, labels, specialist papers.... plus pens, pencils, marker pens, staplers, postal supplies, notebooks, storage boxes etc etc etc.
It's been a mammoth task getting everything out, in preparation for cleaning and jooshjing.
Predictably, it didn't go entirely smoothly.
My corner desk, which was assembled in situ, wouldn't go through the door no matter which way we turned it, or how much we swore. In the end we had to take the top section off, and were then able to manhandle it out of the office and into the sitting room, where it will be a temporary home for PP's computer.
Removing it revealed a quantity of dust, webs and spider husks.... presumably any live specimens quickly abandoned their lairs when we started the operation.
Small Dog is not a fan of the vacuum cleaner, so she looked a bit disgruntled when I dragged it through to deal with all the debris, and burrowed down under her duvet while I dealt with years of hitherto inaccessible dirt and dust. When I then started washing down the skirting boards she still stuck to her guns and refused to move, giving me a hard stare when I tried to move her out of the way. However by that time I was ready for a break so she was granted a reprieve.
So far so good..... tomorrow we will move PP's computer and dismantle her desk. Then I can finish the cleaning and assess my next move.... *sigh*
