Wood Floors under all that Carpet!

I've been quiet for the past couple of weeks.

The kitchen work has been held up

for the past several days

because one cabinet had to be replaced.

It has now arrived and

hopefully in the next couple of days

we'll all see some real progress

in the kitchen.

In the meantime,

the carpet has been pulled up

and we've got oak floors underneath!

They are not in pristine condition,

but with a thorough cleaning

and some minor repairs,

they will be just fine for

my little cottage!

The stairs are going to be the most 

labor intensive.

The "waffle" padding underneath has disintegrated 

to a hard, clay-like material

that is having to be scraped away.

"My"bedroom upstairs.

The guest bedroom.

I had originally planned to do the painting,

but because my current house sold so quickly

(closing is scheduled for June 12!!!)

I am overwhelmed with packing up.

So, Shannon, my contractor,

has agreed to add that task to his list.

We're all working toward a "finish" date

on the renovations by the end of May.

I am in countdown mode now!
