Hal washed his hands thoroughly before sitting at the desk. He looked through the “To-Do” list, ticking off the completed items. It was hard to concentrate, but he re-checked the day’s agenda to see if he had missed any.
- Remove rotten sections. Check. He’d done the bulk of the work with a saw, but he’d made sure to get into the smaller sections with a craft knife.
- Sand. Check. It had taken three sheets of course paper to get the entire surface done.
- Scour. Check. The steel wool was almost in pieces by the time he was done and he had used up most of the bottle of bleach.
Hal sighed and leaned back. The creator of the list had clearly had some fun putting it in alphabetical order, but it did not seem like the easiest way to get everything done. Still, he would follow the list to the letter.
He checked the remaining items:
- Segment
- Throttle
- Throw away
