Day Seven tease & ramble
Sorry - no pics! I decided to wait now until it is totally done. Plus, with the little man home I am really pressed for time during the daylight. All I can say is WOW. At one point last night I just stood in the middle of the living room in my bare feet and... Continue Reading →

Day Four
Not much happened on Day 3. So now it all has to happen today. Well, at least 90% of it does. Here is a view from the bridge of the tile demo below. It's loud loud loud with the air compressor and tile breaking. I am about 1/2 way done painting. Back to work!
Floor Project Day Two
No more carpet! All furniture is out in the garage.As I feared might happen, a rat died in the garage sometime within the last few days. Thankfully it was before the furniture was moved in and it never made it that far after getting inside through the broken vent screen (which needs to me fixed... Continue Reading →
