I wish I had a gutter track! π§Ή
My apartment has these awful, worn out carpets that require vacuuming and are always getting muddy and dirty. The mud is hard to get out of them, and while I try not to track mud indoors, it happens. I always have trouble with the vaccum cleaner plugging up and even with occasional vacuums things are always dirty.
I can’t imagine ever having carpets when I have my off grid property. They just get so dirty and difficult to clean. I was fiddling around with the one again plugged up vacuum, swearing at myself and wishing I could just have vinyl or hardwood flooring in my cheap apartment that was easy to clean.
Or better yet, a gutter track like they have in tie stall barns to haul manure and waste bedding out to the manure spreader and apply to the land. It would be so nice if you could just sweep all the spilled food, the mud and muck to a track that would haul it out out to a bucket you could dump into your burning barrel. Not have to deal with not getting all the crap swept into a broom pan and dumped in the trash. Or even without a track but just a gutter, it would be a shit ton easier to clean.
I know that’s kind of a fantasy as I don’t live in a barn and the same kind of laziness I denounced with hot water heaters yesterday. And it’s not like I produce 12 tons of waste a year to manage. But I certainly hate carpeted floors and my forever jamming vacuum. I’d rather just sweep and was them, take out the trash and burn it and be done. None of this softy urbanites shit with their carpeting and automatic Roombas.
