Cleaning and Organizing the Kitchen and on to the Rest of the House

I am in the middle of a huge project of cleaning and organizing my whole house. I am going to go through each room of my house and clean and organize everything. I plan on replacing some furniture to help with better organization of my house. Some of the furniture is not serving the propose I need it for. I hope that when I am done with my cleaning and organizing project, I will be able to locate thing better and keep everything cleaned better. I am currently, working on cleaning and organizing the kitchen.

Most of my wait was because of weather. They came and started to dig starting from the exit port of the septic tank and made their way towards the drain field.  Fortunately, only a few feet out they found the issue that was causing the issues...
