And the Best Part of the Story

This is one of the jobs that seemed too big to do--scraping the popcorn off the living room ceiling. Rachel and Dave had the dubious fortune of spending the night here on their way to the LATOJA bike race. Bless them, they offered to scrape the ceiling. And I, being no fool, accepted their offer.

They were even kind enough to act like they were having fun! No I wasn't fooled, but it was very nice of them.

The amount of crap that they removed from the ceiling was truly spectacular!

Oh, they also helped me move the remaining furniture to the middle of the room and remove the rest of the carpet--with the last stinky vestiges of Jessie impregnating every fiber--that actually may have been the worst part of the job--rolling up the carpet and carrying it out to the dumpster. Thank you, Rachel and Dave. I owe you a winter skiing trip.
