Why I Loathe Landscaping and House Cleaning
Here is an exterior before picture of the house. Once finished there will be a second floor. Everything is going to be completely different from what is there now. This is just to give an idea of what we are working with. I just cant wait for it to be done and have party's and holidays. A backyard, and all the fun that comes to owning a house.
I am NOT looking forward to Shoveling and Landscaping or any manual labor that I used to do when I was growing up in 07039. When I was younger I was the landscaper, gutter cleaner and shoveler. I was on way way to a career at John Deere. My dad was sick so he couldn't do it. I hated it at the time but I would do it all over again if I could with some restrictions. I laugh at it all now but my father would instruct me on mowing lawns and blowing leaves at 12. He even once had me try to mow the lawn to look like a baseball field. My mother told me that "it's the medicine talking". The second he saw a snowflake salt had to be put down and once a year I had to climb a ladder with rubber gloves on and clean the gutters(my mother has pictures).
Now to my mothers crazy antics. I hate cleaning, I would rather drink bleach than clean like my mother does. She would start cleaning the house @ 6:30 am. In normal households you wake up to the aroma of fresh coffee, not on Falcon Road. NOPE it was either Pine Sol or Bleach (unless of coarse my Grandmother decided to make Tuna). She would be washing the floor so hard that she would swing our bedroom door open and start to wash the woodwork in our bedroom (my sister and I shard a room). One time she made us wash the ceiling in the basement, YES the ceiling. I got more pine up my nose that time that I still have a headache. Oh, and to this day if you ever go to my mothers house, look before you pee, if you don't your private area may get splashed pine sol or bleach.
