Actually keep looking at more things to clean and going ahead with it. Things I have walked past for years!. This place is the dust palace. Also fixing or finishing things on the house, so generally more motivated the more I get done. Things like this little countertop project. Been thinking about it for years

See the electrical switch and outlet by the microwave? I had an electrician wire the kitchen in the '80s and he did that halfass crap. Same thing over by the sink. Always hated that crooked mess. I painted the kitchen last year, never put the plates back on because I want to change all that to be one double box with an oak combination cover, to match the rest of the kitchen. I have to cut out a piece of tongue & groove to fix each one. I ordered the switch/recept plates the other day and dropped off the Multimaster (saw) to be repaired last week (finally). I can't wait to get it back so I can finally fix that mess!

Here is where the microwave was, taking up a lot of that space, and the messed up electric boxes

And the microwave in it's new place. I wasn't up for finishing the rack for the cutting board tonight

If you want to see some real dust just try living in the desert next to a horse ranch.

This place gets so dusty that it is almost impossible to keep up on it. I'll spend an hour dusting and the next day it's all dusty again.

I chased my little Corgi dog today. She took off chasing a big Lab that comes by. The same Lab that chased my German Shepherd back into the house when he tried to chase it. But he met his match with Coco. She is fearless and sent him packing.

My wife freaked out and we had to go looking for her. We couldn't find her. Reason being, she was sitting on the front porch waiting for us. She came back on her own. Corgi's are smart dogs. She is small but heavy all muscle. She jumps off the bed and the floor rattles like someone just dropped a sack of concrete on it. She is like a big dog with really short legs and an attitude a mile wide. That Lab found out the hard way not to mess with her.
