Video tapes and linen


Our next task was to get all the linen from different rooms and cupboards and sort into sizes and colours. After gathering them all and sorting into sizes and colours, our task then was to match sets.

As you can imagine, this was job which needed plenty of space. Morgan took charge and really enjoyed the challenge.

We also had moved some book cases around, so there was plenty of dust and vacuuming - umm 'Hoovering' with the henry to do..:)





Next task on the list was to sort through about 5 piles like this of videos - into tv series, comedy, children and train videos.  Boy - this guy loves his trains and train journeys. 



Tidying one room.. Before and after

The tasks that we have as Helpxers vary from placement to placement. Penny has a large home which has housed a few different residents over the year, all leaving things behind or storing things with her.

This is  room full of one guys stuff - who now wants it back - so we need to basically sort it and pack it ready for the movers to come and grab it.

Its a bit aof a harder job when you don't have packing boxes to put things into, but I worked with what I had and tidied up as much as I could.

The kids helped heaps as there were so many tiny bits to do - tapes and videos to sort out and pack and boxes of shit  good stuff to sort and pack.

It has taken me two days to get this room ( before photo).. into a sort of organised and manageable set up ( after photo)
