I arrived right on time for Ms. B's warm welcome. Flipping the mattress turned out to be quick and straightforward.

Next, she showed me her balcony, where some of the wooden boards had a bit of moss. She’d already set out the perfect tools—metal brushes and a vacuum—so I got to scrubbing and cleaning. By the end, the balcony looked fresh and tidy, and Ms. B’s happy reaction made the effort worthwhile.

It was a pleasure to help!
