I won’t bore or disgust you with yesterday’s cleaning efforts at the house. Suffice it to say that I have never in my life almost become ill from smell and cleaning, but yesterday made that a first. I shall leave it at that.
Today we have another new Weekly Vintage News (They are now weekly as daily was far too much for little ole’ me to keep up with) and its main focus is Farming life in the 1950’s. So check out this week’s News by clicking the link on the right or simply go HERE.
To accompany this theme, here is an interesting two part video on 1950’s farming. You will notice the continued talk of soil conservation and the farmers working together, not much as happens today with Corporate farm mandate and dictates to the remaining farms from the like of Monsanto. The example of how to manage the forest is also evidenced to be greatly difference than today’s act of stripping entire forests. Enjoy it. I have also place it under Gardening and How We used to live on APRON TV.
Happy Homemaking.
I really hope you are taking pictures of the rental so you can show us the horror.
ReplyDeleteActually, I didn't I perhaps should have, but being in it and the emotional choas, I just couldn't. I hope you will all take my word for it. It was and still is, quite bad. We are just back from another all day venture.

ReplyDeletei probably would have been physically ill as well. i would also need a sturdy vintage gas mask. as before, i wish you speedy resolution to be able to put it all behind you.

I am so sorry for the mess. I used to clean apartments after people moved or were evicted so I have an idea. many times it looked like animals had been living there and not people! be careful not to bring any "critters" home with you! Dee
ReplyDeleteWhen my friend moved in to her new house she had to start on the downstairs bathroom by donning a respirator and gloves, grabbing a gallon of bleach to splash around the room and then shut the door and leave it for a day. Her place was so disgusting she tried to find calving gloves to cover her arms to clean. *shudder*
ReplyDeleteI do not envy your task.
Hang in there, 50's gal!
ReplyDeletePoor you. I simply don't understand how some people can live like that! Literally in a pigsty! And how they can behave like that, since it isn't even their own property. I hope they get their punishment one day - one way or another.
