“Laugh at the cold” carpet cleaning in Ft. Greely, Alaska

This is a photo “shot” that my son took on his way to help us load carpet cleaning equipment for the trip!

Luckily for us it warmed up to -45 below right outside of North Pole! Practically summer! đŸ™‚

You never can tell what might breakdown! We came prepared with two vehicles full of equipment and… just a bit of survival gear!:

Right after we left, my thermostat locked ‘cold’ and stayed that way…. made for a cold trip down (very little heat), but nothing major with either vehicle… my heat worked on the way back even!

This is a short video of the beginning of our trip and the cleaning process, if you watch closely you will get to witness some of the harassment my sons were giving me while I was there. They didn’t realize that I was videotaping the funny faces and signs that they were giving me would show up on their “old” daddy’s blog. :-).

It really was a great day, not only for carpet cleaning, but for once I was able to go fast enough to keep up with my two older sons and actually spend some time with them. As they get older, it’s hard to “catch & hold” their attention …

This is a picture of the facility as we were leaving, the outside is just as attractive as the inside. Right out in the middle of nowhere!:

Sunlight makes you feel so warm! This is our parting view on our way back home.
