Almost There

We took possession of our new home on Friday. Three days and $188 later, we are still not done cleaning. We have managed to complete the following:

The kitchen is clean, including the laundry area.
The entire house is vacuumed thoroughly.
The carpets were cleaned (as best they could be).
The master bath is about 80% clean.
The 2nd bath is about 50% clean.
The walls and doors have been wiped down on the first floor.

The rest can be done after we've moved in. Right now the house is livable, and mostly sanitized. The list of things yet to be done is as follows:

We need to finish cleaning the bathrooms.
The windows need cleaning.
The rest of the walls/doors/door jambs need wiping down.
The banister needs a cleaning.
The kitchen counter and both bathtubs need to be re-caulked.

I think we can knock these out after work over the next couple days- the windows will take a while, but everything else is pretty small beans. Not bad.

When I first totalled up our receipts, $188 seemed like a lot. But considering it included 3 new toilet seats, a Rug Doctor rental, a sponge mop, and all these...



That's really not too much.
I'm so exhausted. I'm going to bed early, and hoping tomorrow will be a slow day at work.
