WOW! You have done a terrific job so far--way to go!

[annethcz]

Just chiming in to say that you've done an AMAZING job! Keep it up Your landlord is going to be amazed tomorrow.

[ollineeba]

Wow- you are such an inspiration!! You have given your son (and yourself ) such a huge gift.
You must feel SOOO proud of yourself- it's such an amazing transformation! The before and after from your son's bedroom was INCREDIBLE!

Annnnnnnnnnnnndddddd DONE!!! (at least according to my landlord's list)

I finished scrubbing the kitchen floors tonight, although I am really tired, so I didn't do as good of a job as I would have liked, but the landlord only specified that all floors be swept and mopped with clean water. I swept the rest of the house and spot cleaned the hardwood floors where they had a spot on them. There really is never any food anywhere else other than the kitchen and if I do take food anywhere else and anything hits the floor, I generally clean it up immediately. We also don't wear shoes in the house, so nothing is really tracked anywhere either, so the floors look great!

I still have a little clutter on the kitchen table, that I might try to tackle tomorrow before heading out for work, and a few dishes in the sink, but really, I think it is pretty good. I just don't have the energy to put any more into it tonight and absolutely everything on his list is done, so I am not going to stress about it.

You rock! Good luck today with the landlord, but with all the work you did I don't think you need it!

[mrspineau]

Great job!!!! That is quite an undertaking you have conquered there! Now you just gotta keep it up so that you dont ever have to go through this again.

WOW! That is really, really impressive to me! It is no small feat to fold and put away that much laundry all in one go! I am in awe!!! You rock!!!!

Congratulations! Now to maintain . . . that's the trick, isn't it? Good luck! I have great faith in you to be able to maintain it, after all the amazing things you've done by now!

You are so awesome

Thank you for posting-- I've been reading along, and it has been so motivating. If I had a landlord, he'd probably have said the same thing about my place over the last couple months. But it's coming together... thanks in part to your inspiration

[rere]

Can't wait to hear how it goes with the landlord today.

[weliveintheforest]

You are doing so good, it's an inspiration for sure!

[Theoretica]

Checking in for an update mama, how did it go?

[countrymom]

You've inspired me!
You did a fantastic job--it must feel great!
(I have to say I liked it better with the bookshelves on the landing vs. empty but you've gotta do what you have to do for landlord--I'm a fan of books)

[Madders]

Hoping for a good update!

[justmama]
