| Up at Happy Trails |
🍁 🍂 🍁
When I walked this morning it was 42 degrees and once the sun came up
it stayed out and was a nice sunny day.
Dropped off a book at the library and then had a random walk
all over town.
Saw the heron again, this time in the little stream behind the ball park
loop. He flew away though before I had a chance to take his picture.
Walked with Cathy around one of the cemeteries a couple of times.
Found 2 pennies
Walked 6.2 miles
🍁 🍂 🍁
Got the sheets washed and hung out on the line first thing this morning.
Then tackled cleaning the bathroom.
I've tried everything I can think of to clean the bottom of the fiberglass
shower. The bottom has a non slip surface and just doesn't look clean.
I was scrubbing away this morning with the latest remedy and again it just
wasn't working. Ken came over to see what I was doing and asked if I'd ever
tried toothpaste. No, I didn't, so I gave it a try.
We use Colgate and every time we go to the dentist they give us a couple little
tubes of Crest that I just put in the drawer so I used one of them
for cleaning. Well let me tell you, it worked like a charm. I squeezed some
on to a brush and scrubbed and wow a nice looking like new shower bottom.
Here some tubes sit on the bottom of a nice clean shower.
And it smells nice and minty too.
Ken suggest the toothpaste because that is what he used to use to
clean the white piping on his dress blues when he was in the Navy.
After lunch we went up to Happy Trails to the building site.
The blocks have all be filled with concrete and we have a nice sturdy foundation.
The inspector came and approved the work.
Here Ronnie and Paul are putting the plate on the foundation.
Amazing watching John work that crane.
Tomorrow the joists will get put in place.
Stone has been put all around the foundation. That is not quite finished yet.
More of that will get done tomorrow.
Cooked supper (tacos), cleaned that up finished my cleaning for the day
and now it's time for relaxing.

A happy day to you.

Ha! Well how great that the toothpaste did the trick. I know we used toothpaste once to clean a stain on a wood coffee table and it worked for that. Now I'm craving tacos!
Magic eraser is also good I've found
I'm amazed at how fast your home is going up! Floor joints already! Somewhere recently I heard (on a movie, maybe? Advertisement?) of a lady trying to get her teeth very white, and nothing worked, and then a friend said, "Have you tried using Vim?" (It's a cleaning solution in England, I think.) So she tried it, and it worked beautifully. Made me think of your shower story :)
I've used toothpaste on my silver jewelry to give it a little shine. Hope it helps you with the cleaning. The house is really coming along! Enjoy your evening! Hugs, Diane
Hmmmm,I had never thought of using toothpaste to clean the tub. I must give that a try.My tub is old and the bottom is roughs this just might work.
...now the framing should go quickly.
Those floor joists are really interesting. I've never seen construction like that. I might just try the toothpast trick.
Hello, I have to remember that toothpaste trick. Your new place is really coming along, the floor joists are neat. It is amazing how quickly houses can be built nowadays. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day and the week ahead!
Love.
Can't wait to try the toothpaste on my shower floor!
Im going to have to try the toothpaste trick. Baking soda works and also magic erasers. The toothpaste would smell better though. Thanks for the idea!

I also have used toothpaste on my jewelry for years but never thought to use it for cleaning the tub or shower...I will definitely remember that cleaning tip! It must be exciting for you to see so much getting done on your place...what a beautiful setting and looking forward to watching the progress!
Now I will have to try toothpaste on the sealant which is stained in our shower.
So exciting to see the progress at HT!
Well me too! I'm going to try the toothpaste. I love that first picture. I cannot resist picking goldenrod flowers.
Who would have thought of toothpaste!
