What happens after workmen leave?

Normally, it is a mess at the best of times after workmen leave, but think about this additional challenge for a blind person. Workmen have just left your house. The place is a mess, things are out of place, and everything needs to be cleaned up.

Of course, they did not tell you where they put things, but you know that they need to be put back in place. They did not tell you that they left dust all over the place, on the floor, on the counters, and on your furniture. You know that you need to put back the furniture but you now have to go carefully fumbling around to find the furniture. You are careful enough but it does not stop you from crashing into an unexpected piece of furniture.

It simply cannot be helped. This is the scene for me each time workmen leave my place. I try my best to tell them to put things back, but no go. Ah, well! All in a day's life.
