@Stephanie I'm still working on 2019 🙂 Have just spent days washing down the brick ceiling in the guest room which was getting covered in efflorescense, (saltpeter) which is something that commonly happens here in the humid, wet weather if there is somewhere the moisture is getting in.
This entailed first scrubbing with a brush and a muriatic acid solution, then sponging down with water, letting that dry and then applying a sealer which will hopefully keep it from coming back.
The sealer runs down my arm when painting it on- I didn't realize I hadn't washed it off properly and now I have this stuff glued to my upper arm and armpit and it won't even scrub off in the shower with a washcloth. It's all flakey now and looks like I have some gross skin disease.
Next I have some sewing to do- patch a few small holes in the mosquito net I just washed, repair a chair cushion cover and make a new throw pillow cover.
Then touch up a bit of paint, and hopefully all will be ready when my next guest arrives the 4th of Dec.
I don't even want to think about 2020.
