Have you started your spring cleaning yet? Do you intend to do it this year? I think what Iām doing I consider spring cleaning light. Meaning I am just dipping my toe in to see how the water is. Do the baseboards really need attention? They seem okay. Do the transoms need cleaning? Well, it […]

While my patio is not going to make any Pinterest awards, I think I can share a few […]
