My excuse
For late/light blogging tonight. We pulled up the living room carpet tonight. Yuck. The good news is that we found a hardwood floor underneath. So that means we won't have to lay down plywood or anything. Still, it needed a lot of work. M. spent several hours on his hands and knees scraping up rotted padding and pulling up old rusty staples and tack strip. We've got everything done that Emma might be able to get to. Tomorrow night after she goes to bed we'll do behind the couch and the beige chair. The floor we found is quite stained and was as filthy as could be. I swept up tons of fine sand-like dirt. I'm just trying to focus on how nice the floor will look when the project is done.
