A Dusty Makeover

I would absolutely LOVE to win a free housecleaning! For a Christmas gift, I asked my husband to call Extreme Home Makeover and have them come to our house and make it over. He did better than that! He arranged for four friends to show up in work trucks complete with paint and tile samples, work tools and hard hats. He even had shirts printed that said "Extreme Makeover" - ('Extreme' was crossed out and 'Modest' was inserted!) the doorbell rang and I was so shocked to answer and see the "crew" standing there, with the video camera running. They were ready to go to work. The project has been very messy. It has been very difficult for us to see our home where we raised three boys become so torn up and in such a state of disaster. The boys are all away in college now. Besides working full time ourselves, my husband and I have spent many hours working hard to keep up with the construction cleaning. The end result of this modest makeover will be beautiful. We can't wait for the boys to see it. The perfect ending to this clever makeover project would be to "knock off the dust" by having our house proffessionally cleaned when it is finished. This would be a great surprise that I could give to my husband to thank him for all he did to arrange the makeover! PLEASE select us to win your free housecleaning! We want and need it badly! submitted by Cathy Dritenbas
