It was time to beat the giant area rug in the living room. It’s heavy and at least twice my height!
Getting the rug onto the playground was no easy feat! I’m only 5 feet tall and the playground is close to 8 feet tall. So I got my workout of the day

The wind knocked it down after an hour so I laid it flat in the grass instead for an additional 2 hours.

Going for BB #6.

Take an area rug out and beat it, just beat it.

Before picture, action shot, after two hrs in the sunny sunshine.

Beat was not specified as to having to use a stick or such like. So I beat the critters out against the railing.

Note: you have beaten well, but then the rug had to hang out too

Hi Lindsay. Sorry, but I can't see if it was hanging there for long enough (the requirement for the BB is at least 2 hours).

Understandable, how do you propose i do that? I am looking at others in the thread and all I see is a before shot, a beating shot, and a shot hanging. No clocks, some no shadows, just the person's word.
