One room at a time...

Tony finished the floors in the living room and we only have one room to go! Work on the last room begins this weekend. That floor is in the best shape of all of the floors Tony has taken on so far so we're keeping our fingers crossed that it will be easier.

In order to do the living room floors we had to move in with our friends Stephanie and Blake (or Steak as we like to call them).  They deserve a big shout out because "we" includes Tony, me, AND the dogs. They generously opened their home for several days while Tony applied coats of finish every day with 24 hours of drying time in between.  Also deserving of major kudos are Tony's dad, Terry, and our friend, Mike, who both donated an entire Saturday to assist with removing the black carpet glue that had been slathered onto the wood floor sometime in the 1970's.

This room used to be filled with smelly, wall-to-wall, beige carpet and now we are enjoying shiny wood floors! Thanks to everyone and especially to my husband for all their help with this. It is a huge improvement!

Note the nasty carpet...
