Well, I... did get to it.

Not as much as I envisioned, say later last week, or over the weekend.  I had hoped to really... do a lot.  Still, I did get some things finished.

After the woodwork, I took that break.  Needed it.  Then, got the sawhorses in and stowed.  After that, I started tinkering with the dishes, actually mostly pans, and the oven racks.  No, I didn't get them washed, but I did get them reset, alone with what else needed washing.  Not much, but it is soaking.  I hope to get those done yet tonight, but they weren't even on the list.  They, really, were more in the way... of a shower... and of finishing the oven.

Back to the oven.  Scrubbed out one final time.  Dried out.  I thought I had to get paper towels, to finish pulling dirty water.  But, no.  Still, I got it down.  I was on my last roll, down here, so it was good to grab two more.  Then, dried out, scrubbing anything that showed through after the drying.  She looks pretty good.  Brand new?  Closer than I thought possible.  

Yea, actually.  But I don't use the oven daily.  More like weekly, or three times a week.  And, most of my food is well covered, or lightly open.  So, cleaning it quarterly would be enough.  And, it just wasn't all that bad.  I will continue to use tin foil on the racks, at least the bottom one, and changing that out fairly often.  But, yes, clean.  Nice.  There are things on the inside of the glass, I may see about how to get to those.  Just a few dribbles.

Oh, but I haven't cleaned the exterior or top.  That's... on the list.

Then I got the shower, and put the dishes back to a fresh soak.

Nothing fantastic.  But not bad.  I had hoped for a lot more done.  And, yet, had some worries that anything was going to be done today.  And... the day isn't over.  I might be able to finish the dishes, and the stove, yet tonight.  Perhaps some work in this front room?  Don't know, doubt that.  But... we will see.  Later.
