We have the same thing in our bi-weekly commonhouse cleaning. The tables are literally folded up and the chairs stacked and moved out of the room to the workshop so the floor can be mopped. Restaurants do this every night, right? Last week all the sunroom furniture was moved to the piazza -- sofas and rocking chairs around the fountain. Our tables are very heavy, takes two to lift them. We have 60 chairs. One person shows up just for the lifting. It's a guy thing and they do a great job. Remember the story about my 5 year old son who considered vacuuming a boy job because it involved a machine?
