Onsite construction technology: IoT and spatial mapping

Maybe it’s just me, but chopping and prepping food on a somewhat dirty picnic table surrounded by dirt still kinda freaks me out yet.

The problem is that I’d like to rip that counter top out sooner rather than later, and that would damage my tile work, so I’ll just have to wait and see what I can do to make the space a little cozier in the meantime..So here’s how things are looking in the kitchen now!.

What a difference, right?The whole area suddenly seems so much more finished and complete.The eye is happy!.

All I did was paint out the backsplash area with a little bit of paint left in the bottom of a sample pot (and clearly I didn’t even do too detailed of a job) and the difference it makes in the feel of the kitchen is tremendous.It’s one of those things that just brings out everything else around it.

In fact, one of my mother-in-laws was here the other day and she just now noticed things like the new lighting and the cornices that have been up since February.

Suddenly it looked like I had done a whole ton of work in there, but really all I did was take about an hour of my time one evening and slop a little paint on there..I take this time to grab an old toothbrush and scrub around the edges of the sink and the faucet..

I just dip the brush into the hot vinegar water and use that.Also, if I have any caked on mess, like ketchup that somehow managed to splash up onto the faucet, I take a rag, dip it into the hot water and just let it hang out on the mess for a minute to completely take it away.. Once the water in the sink has cooled, I pull the plug!

I like to take my toothbrush again and get into the cracks around the drain and also get any grimeyness out of the drain itself.. I’m pretty sure that all those dark spots are all coffee stains from all the coffee we drink around here!.The next step is for those of us with old, well-worn sinks.
