OH woe...I knew that this might be the hardest part of the adventure and it is.
I have set up in the upper bathroom, and it is very hard. The countertop is so small that I have to put the drying rack right on the toilet which I think is really gross...even with the lid down. Of course as soon as I am done I move it to the bathtub, but still!!!
And to actually wash without letting anything drain stoppable going down the pipes I have three different pans that I have to fill with hot water before I even start...and where to put the dirty dishes while I do that?
Well, they go in the black tub that you can barely see...that is for getting "stuff" off that doesn't come off in the initial scraping...then into the soapy hot water in the bowl in the sink, and finally a rinse in the last big bowl followed by a quick stream of water from my watering can. God! And I only had four items to do.
NOT a happy camper.
If I move the whole operation to the downstairs bathroom, it would be more efficient and I might just do that tomorrow though it means hauling stuff up and down the stairs, but it might be so much easier to do that.
Paper plates are on the shopping list!!!
