Congratulations Zeep!!!
My anti-rants are as follows:
1. I started putting concrete sealer down on the floors throughout the house, and it LOOKS GREAT!! (Floors are scored and stained concrete here ... looks like stone tiles.)
2. I found out how my neighbor keeps her toilets all nice and super clean (Comet cleanser ... who knew??), and now mine look FABULOUS!!
3. My new steam cleaner is WONDERFUL, and is getting the cat hair off of everything (cat hair gets stuck on stuff because of static electricity ... and the steam sort of de-charges it).
I am a happy person!! I'm going to get another section of floor washed and sealed tonight. I've got about 4,500 sqft of concrete to do .... two to three coats over the whole thing .... I'm figuring two weeks working a section at a time. The trick is keeping the cats off it while it dries.
I know it sounds sort of weird ... but I really enjoy doing these sorts of things.
