Happy 4th of July everybody! It looks like we’re in for a great weekend of weather so let’s celebrate our great country’s birthday in grand style. Grab your favorite summer food, some friends and some tunes and head out to the backyards, lakes, beaches or parks and enjoy being Americans!
Two Men and A Truck wishes you all a safe and happy 4th of July!
* The cornerstone was laid and construction began in October of 1792.
* President Washington never lived in the White House. President John Adams was the first president to move in.
* The White House survived a fire at the hand of the British in 1814 during the war of 1812 and another fire in 1929. Many renovations have taken place since then but the exterior stone walls are the same walls put in place when the White House was first constructed.
* There are 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, and 6 levels in the Residence. There are also 412 doors, 147 windows, 28 fireplaces, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators.
* With five full-time chefs, the White House kitchen is able to serve dinner to as many as 140 guests and hors d'oeuvres to more than 1,000.
* The White House requires 570 gallons of paint to cover its outside surface.
* For recreation, the White House has a variety of facilities available to its residents, including a tennis court, jogging track, swimming pool, movie theater, and bowling lane.
While your house may not be as big as this one, Two Men and A Truck will be happy to handle your local or long-distance move, from a simple room-to-room or a whole household!
