It was a HIT! The house looked great, the food was fabulous and well worth the effort.
It was from 2-4 pm but people came at 2 and stayed till 3, there were no stragglers this year.
In order to get ready for Open House this year, I shampooed the one remaining room's carpet 5x with a rented Rug Doctor, painted the hallway, attempted to frame one bathroom's mirror only to create a Gorilla Glue mess, and cleaned the parsonage as if we were moving. There will not be an Open House next year, I think every other year is good enough.

Sounds lovely! Glad, for you, that it is finished and you can check that off your list!
Good luck with the revamp of the plans. Seriously, send me some of that energy!
