All Night Cleaning Session

We were cleaning this place until 4 AM. When we left there were people delivering the day's food and trash was being picked up. I don't know if we have ever seen the city at that hour. We had to take out mounds of trash, mostly cardboard and packaging boxes. Then we had to tear off all the red rosin paper to get to the hardwood floors and finally be able to see them. I was doing most of the vacuuming and removing the floor paper while Brandon installed the doors to the cabinets.  Here is a sort of time line for how the apartment went this weekend.

Saturday Night:
 Sunday Night 7:00 PM
 Sunday Night 9:00 PM
 Monday Morning 1:00 AM
 Monday Morning 3:30 AM

Taking up all the paper was tedious because we had to rip it up in sections to try to contain the dust that had settled on top of it. But we are in love with our hardwood floors. And even though we were up all night it was worth it. However we are paying for it dearly today.

  1. Cleaning until 4 in the morning? That sounds exhausting, particularly the part where you have to take everything out like packaging boxes and stuff. But on second thought, it’s better to finish it all at once, so you can concentrate on the other task the next day. How are you doing now?

  2. What a way to spend your night. Though I emphatize with being more productive at night. I guess the fact that there's nothing to distract you helps. Haha! Anyway, it looks like there was a lot of work to be done back then. I hope you were able to finish the task on time. Good day!

  3. Good job guys! You have taken the whole night in cleaning the house completely. So, sunday night is the one to do all these. Of course, cleaning in intervals is really necessary and everyone should follow it. The modern flooring types doesn't require much maintenance but a simple cleaning is enough. But the renovation should be done in intervals. Thanks for sharing. remodel kitchen Chatsworth, CA.
