This is why we can't have parties at our house yet





Two weeks ago we exchanged places with Grandpa and moved all his things to the downstairs apartment. He is adjusting pretty comfortably while we work on the upstairs. Cara and Wesley are still downstairs while Peggy and I are tearing things up. We moved into the front bedroom whilst working on the rest of the floors. We found out that the whole upstairs but the kitchen and bathrooms is covered in 2" oak flooring under the carpet. We have stripped out the carpet and sanded/refinished the floors. The painting is done in the bedrooms as well but we still need base molding. It is a glorious mess as usual but a lot of fun getting there.

Stay tuned for lots more action.

  4. Man, those floors look awesome. Can you come work on ours? We decided to wax our floors and it didn't buff off as well as we hoped. It's quite the mess to cleanup.
