Extreme Home Makeover...sort of

This weekend was spent helping Becca & Denis rearrange their house for friends who are going to stay with them for awhile. It was an amazing gesture on their part, and between working full time, and church and everything else...and since I don't have much of a life, I volunteered to come over and help out.


We (in chronological order) in 7 hours:

Painted the office/Becca & Denis' new bedroom
Vacuumed the bedroom
Assembeled the bed frame
Brought the boxspring through the 2nd story window
Shoved the mattress up the stairs after folding it in half
Put the window and screen back in
Washed the sheets
Moved the dresser
Brought the chaise chair up the stairs
Rearranged the living room
Re-connected the TV/DVD/Cable

WHEW! The day went so fast, but everything looked SOOO good!
Here are a few pictures of the day... Becca told me for Christmas that she wanted me to come up for a weekend and help paint the kitchen and living room...so I got her a bunch of paint supplies including this pair of plastic overalls! it was WAY to hot to paint in it, but I made her put it on just for giggles!
Here's Becca in Daisy's ghetto hat, and.....no I didn't give her a shiner, but I was trying to get a picture of the paint on her eyelid...who does that!?!
I'm in the 2nd story window, trying to figure out how to get the boxspring up there without a rope!
Finally...some relaxing!
Thanks for all who helped out, and Bec..thanks for letting me help out!
