Thanksgiving preparations?

Generally, when preparing for Thanksgiving you worry about cleaning your house for company, thawing out the turkey, deciding if you should deep-fry or bake, brine or baste...oh, but not me. While the turkey will be coming out of the freezer this weekend (and I'll be basting in a bag), my house has only gotten messier in the past few days!!! This time, it's actually on purpose:) My parents are arriving on Tuesday to help me with some home-improvement projects over the holidays, primarily installing a new floor in my living room. But before they arrive I have a few projects of my own to finish: painting the ceiling, removing the old vinyl baseboard molding and heat registers, and pulling out the old carpet. Should be a fun weekend!
