Well…didn’t take a bike ride today since it was damn cold and the wind was blowing almost 20mph and I just can’t take that anymore…so, I decided to start to work on the inside of this joint and do the deep cleaning that I should have done a month ago…started with cleaning the stove and trying to get rid of the sticky crap that was left all over it and burned on….so I took the top apart and drenched the whole thing in goo gone and let it set for an hour to see if it would remove the crap…it kind of worked and it is much better than it was but not all of the crud came off so I will have to find another solvent to get the rest off…so, that took a couple of hours and then I got tired of looking at the dingy curtains over the kitchen sink and started to clean the window and the sink and faucet..yikes…the faucet looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years and had build up of black crud and minerals crusted over it so I had to take the handles off to get at the mold under them and it took 4 applications of mineral remover to cut through the buildup along with taking a razor blade to scrape the crap off it….along with taking a toothbrush to the window to get the dirt out of the cracks and then more razor blade work to get the crap off the window that the ammonia wouldn’t cut, the process took almost 2 1/2 hours and trashed the skin on my hands with all of the harsh cleaners I had to use. That’s enough for now…Man U plays in about 45 minutes and I am going to watch that as a reward for finally getting to the deep cleaning that should have been done long ago…I sure like the results but there is still lots of work to do in the kitchen and the rest of the house just to clean it enough to suit me….baby steps….
