stop, collaborate, and sneeze

I did an adulting this morning by getting up early on my day off so I could let somebody in to clean all the ducts. Next week I have somebody to do the furnace, and then I'm ready for winter.

If you walk into my basement from the front, you see a wall down the centre. The right side has a couple of doors into the basement apartment and that's where the work is going on. The left side is a long corridor that ends at the back wall and contains the furnace, boiler, and steps to the rest of the house. Up until the ex-housemate packed up their stuff, it was crammed so full of boxes I couldn't really get in there. Now that it's somewhat accessible I decided to get in there and try and sort through what remains.

Dust, dust, baby. My eyes feel like they're going to fall out of my head. And this time I remembered to wear a mask.

I also discovered that the housemate had piled a bunch of half-used paint cans next to the furnace, so yeah those are finding another home.

Tomorrow I'm getting up early so I can go the gym. No really, I am. I swear.

NEXT TO THE FURNACE?

That seems... not ideal.

I'm going to be generous and believe that the bins were moved there to be out of the way while housemate was going through the boxes looking for their stuff and they just forgot to move them back.

That is charitable of you.

I assume paint needs to go in special collection (like ewaste), so it could track.
