Floor Remodeling

Here are the new floors... Ta Da! Thank you Thank you Thank you, Laura, for all you did to help us out! The old yucky carpet is finally gone... after 2 1/2 years of waiting :) We found a big mess underneath, all kinds of old glue from linoleum. Drew had to acid-wash the floors first which led to the 'mask', a short evacuation, and a cute little basket full of puppies outside while we waited for the acid to air out. The two-day project turned into 6 because we added 3 layers of color and texture. Plus, the hallway could only be painted just before bedtime. After the kiddos were snuggled in bed, we shut all of the hallway doors to paint the next layer and ended at our bedroom so we could put away the bucket, rollers, and brushes in the shower overnight. The kitty-kat did not like being locked up with us every night, but it's all over now :) We finally finished repainting the baseboards last night. It's soooo nice to finally have it all completed!

Yea--I've been waiting for new pictures! The floor looks great! I know it was really hard work. I hope that we can come see it sometime soon.
