Surprise! Clean House

Since Chase and I have had the house to ourselves this past week after coming home from Baltimore, we decided shortly after coming home that we’d spend the afternoons after work cleaning it up.  Billy came up with the great idea of renting a Rug Doctor, and helped us shampoo all of the carpet in the house.  Shampooing took a little longer than we really thought, mostly because you have to move every bit of furniture to an area where it won’t be in the way, and leave it long enough for the carpet to finish drying.  The carpet feels amazingly clean now, and it’s really sort of disgusting what the dirty water actually looks like after cleaning a section.  We also bought some new collage picture frames that we’re filling with family photos, and are planning on arranging those above the mantel.  I did a little bit of drywall work on one of the corners in the house that has cracked from the house settling over the years that should look much better once we get some fresh paint on it.  My parents are on their way home right now, so that will give us this afternoon to put the finishing touches on it and make sure it all looks presentable and noticeable.  All in all, I hope they are happy and surprised at how we’ve spent the time after work around the house.
