Little Tales 245 : Cleansing up My Childhood Room, Recycling Previous Books & Magazines

We have been spending plenty of time at my dad’s to scrub up our outdated stuffs (I left the home after I was 18 and the room kinda caught in time). There are such a lot of stuffs to do.

The Early Story : Principally what occurred was the water tank beneath the ceiling in our outdated room was leaking badly, so it wanted a change + the outdated roof was in dangerous form. Our room was flooded by it so we needed to do huge clear up and renovation. I feel we already spent round a month on and off on the home since August. 

The Renovation : Repaired the outdated roof, cleaned up the ceiling, modified new water tank, hacked damaged tiles within the kitchen and stuffed it up with new concrete, stuffed up cement in the bathroom’s drain, repaired damaged door, rented trash tank and all these stuffs.
