New Hampshire School Janitor Uses Vacuum To Create Designs In Classroom Rugs

BEDFORD, N.H. (CBS) -- An elementary school janitor in New Hampshire is a Picasso with the vacuum.

Inside Edition reports that 60-year-old Ron Munsey, a janitor a Peter Woodbury School in Bedford, vacuums his own creations into classroom rugs.

"I call the rugs my miniature Fenway Park," the Boston Red Sox fan told Inside Edition.

Munsey explained he started out simply, but then made a witch in a rug to celebrate Halloween, and created the White House for Election Day.

"I figured it would be a relaxing job," Munsey told Inside Edition. "I was vacuuming one day, we got a couple new rugs, and I thought, 'You can do a lot with this.'"

He also vacuumed a dolphin into a rug.

"My boss is a [Miami] Dolphins fan and I'm a [New England] Patriots fan, but you gotta keep on the good side of the boss," Munsey said to Inside Edition.

Munsey added the students appreciate his work.

"One of the teachers said all the kids come in every day, and they say, 'Wow, look at the rugs,'" he told Inside Edition. "I met a parent yesterday and they actually said thank you. Her daughter talks about it every day when she comes home."

Munsey continued, "Now I do something every day. It's my little contribution to education. It makes [kids] look forward to coming to school."
