Moving furniture






Pulling out carpet!

The reason I will not shop at any other home improvement store in Alamogordo, Lowe's employees are awesome!!!:


Deanne stayed to help on her day off.










Joe put in a doggy door and helped fix some things around the house till he was called to work!!!

Stuff was finally coming off that wall!!!


Cleaned and cleaned and it would just smear some more dirt or whatever was on that wall.

  3. She is such a sweet lady and she kept wanting to pay us but we kept telling her it was all free and part of Holloman's AFB Holloman's Big Give. She thought the Air Force must remember her from when she worked for the military. She was very appreciative of everything we did and kept thanking us all day.
