Kevin's View

Hillary's View Today's task? Cleaning the pantry (which is a whole ROOM with row upon row of shelves - it had to be big enough to serve a family of four for three months at time, so this ain't no little cupboard! :)  It's been a long time since it was done, and it's very dusty and very buggy. Step 1: Sweep out the cobwebs and grab the spiders with the squeeze handle brush thing-y.  Swat bugs dead.  Step 2: Move all food from one shelf up a shelf and sweep majority of dust, spider legs, dead bugs, stray grains of rice or other crumbs off the shelf. Step 3: Wipe shelves off with a cloth and some bleach water. Scrub the mucky bits with dish soap and a hand brush if necessary. Step 4. Spray doom along corners and back wall to repel new critters. Step 5: Begin moving items on next shelf while clean shelf dries.  Step 6: Replace items onto newly cleaned shelf. Repeat, repeat, repeat..... Once clean, totally reorganize and rearrange the pantry.  Aaaaaah.
