Room Switch EXTRAVAGANZA

Last night, we were ambushed by Ken's accountability group buddies. Instead of their weekly gathering, they came over to lend a hand and stayed past midnight! They accomplished SO much in one evening, it is almost UNBELIEVABLE. First, they removed the old carpeting from Hayden's new bedroom and then took off all of the hardware from the previous shelving and patched up the walls. Then a hole was cut through from the studio closet wall to the outside of the house and a masterful custom engineered coupling (go Ken!) and installation soon had the Pinguino air conditioner up and running (not sure who is more excited, the computer equipment or Suzan). Then the crew completely painted the first coat of the upper wall in Hayden's room, a fabulous thunder cloud blue. This is no small task, considering the ceiling is vaulted and we did not have a scaffold. And if that wasn't enough, they jumped into installing the pretty marble double-sink vanity top in the kid's bath. That box has been a semi-permanent fixture in another part of the house... So, this install was a two-fold treat! The faucets were just set in place, saving plumbing for another day. They all gathered up the GIANT pile of refuse and even helped get it to the curb. A BIG THANK YOU to Scott, Ray and John for your willingness, enthusiasm and hard work (and a thank you to your wives for letting us borrow you!).
