I finished washing the hall walls and woodwork. I filled in, sanded and painted all the gouges in the walls and woodwork. I cleaned the hall pictures, figurines and humidifier. I washed the walls and woodwork around the piano and washed the piano. I put one-inch foam rubber on the seat on my new piano chair and covered the seat with the same rug material that I used for the kitchen chair seats. I cleaned the furnace, and water heater closet and filled a hole in it's cement floor that's bugged me ever since I bought the house fifteen years ago. I washed a load of clothes, only to discover that the water shut off in my washing machine is leaking water into the machine all the time now. A least I discovered it before I flooded the house. I temporarily solved the problem by shutting off the water valve going into the washer. I put one-inch foam rubber behind my stove and kitchen cabinet to try to insulate this house more. I caulked the ductwork that goes through he ceiling from the furnace, hot water heater and dryer. I caulked where the plumbing pipes under the bathroom sink go into the wall. I fitted two inch thick foam rubber pieces into an eight inch space between my washer/dryer area and the back of the kitchen wall. I installed the new knob that I had ordered and received on my dishwasher. I washed the dishes and spot cleaned the kitchen. I cleaned the piano light, cleaned the metronome and sheet music bookends, and touched up the paint on the piano.
