Herculean task?

I know that cleaning out the new house is not the cleaning of the Augean stables but it seems to be taking forever. Each time I open a cabinet, drawer, or closet there is more detritus from the previous owners life. Porcelain cats, frozen meals, four plungers, and so much more hidden in places all over the house. Enough of this bitterness, things are nearing the completion and all is good.
