Well, it’s done. The furniture has been moved, and it only took 9 hours!
It started off with my clearing the area and vacuuming. I looked at the rug and realized it could use a shampoo, so I did that since I had everything cleared out of the way. After giving it a chance to dry out (with 4 fans pointed straight at it running on high) I moved furniture and stuff. The thing that took the most time was putting all of Hubby’s computers back together. He has 6 computers networked together and all operating off one KVM, and remembering what hooked where took longer than shampooing the carpet did. But I’m done, and exhausted.
Of course, now I just need to find a place to put the grandfather clock I moved aside at first, then forgot about…
