A couple of months back we decided to replace the carpeting in our living room. Today is the big day. Some beautiful new hardwood flooring is going in. I spent a chunk of yesterday emptying out the room of everything except the big pieces of furniture. It's a disturbing thing to move stuff that has not been touched in over 11 years. Happily I can report that aside from a couple of tennis balls, nylabones, and one lego piece there was nothing stuck under any of the furniture.
Good riddance to the nasty old pet worn, scorch marked carpet. Hello to my pretty new hand scraped hickory floor. Pictures to come, it's only half installed at the moment.
We'll also be repainting the room, that's my project for tomorrow. Figured if everything was out, might as well give the place a facelift.
Our neighbor mentioned quite a few years ago that he and his wife give the house a present every year - repainting something, yard work, etc. Just a way to keep it fresh and if they ever sell it, they won't have piles and piles of work to do. I like this philosophy, it hasn't been entirely practical with kids and other needs, but it's nice to do something for the house now.
So now, I sit back and listen to the endless stream of Mexican music and banging. The results should be fantastic!
