“It’s going out:  remove everything except what is attached to the floor or imbedded in the wall.  Whatever can be washed outside or in the kitchen, do it now and leave it to dry.  We’re talking baskets, floral arrangement, shelves and stuff.  Everything else is set outside the room on the floor and this includes the roll of toilet paper that’s hanging off the side of the vanity.  “Everything else” = towels, rugs (maybe you want to wash them now) toothbrush, tissue box, make-up, hair brush, dryer, blah, blah, blah, get my drift?”

“THE PATH Top to Bottom Take it DOWN and Take it OUT (Big Job only) A slice at a time (Don’t bite off more than you can chew Back to Front Move in ONE DIRECTION – there is no going back! What’s in the middle? Finish the floor and you’re OUT!”
