5. my cleaning girls come once a month.

Nov 2013

they do my bedroom and bathroom first. when they're finished i go into my bedroom and stay out of their way. it takes 2 of them about 3 hours to clean the house -- 2700 sq. ft. -- 3 bathrooms. i don't like having people in the house. i'm a very private person.

my health is not great -- especially my back so i appreciate being able to afford this service.

in between i have a "roomba" which vacuums the floors.

i can't imagine "live in help".
