The day after...Thanksgiving!

Hopefully this isn't your kitchen after you use the self-cleaning oven to tidy up after yesterday's food fest. We tend to have small holiday gatherings, but this is how I have felt "the day after" whatever holiday, trying to clean up. A nuclear holocaust would have been easier.......
We opened for work today at Emmanuel's. Black Friday can be either hit or miss for us so we had a few come in and a few go home but today was best spent as a day to accomplish cleaning in the shop. We've been doing some auto body work, replacing a water pump on the Isuzu delivery truck and I've been replacing tile on the bathroom floors.
We wrapped up early today in the interest of work. Someones water lines decided to have a rupture and flood the home while they were in Florida on vacation so I drove the cargo van (with Barry riding shotgun) to go pick up a load of wet rugs.
Here's a great hint for wet rugs or when bringing in something with a messy spill you don't want to have spread through your rug: lay newspapers, a sheet of plastic, a towel or rags (depending what has spilled) on the surface of the rug and roll the rug up around them. It can keep colors from bleeding from front to back, pet accidents from smearing, etc.
Have a great weekend!
