On Tuesday we began in the kitchen. By Wednesday night we had gotten this much done. It was starting to come along. However, since we had no room for the kitchen table while we were working that was in the middle of our living room all week. We worked on it a little every night and made the final push yesterday to get it done. We had guests coming last night, which you'll see in my later post, and we didn't want them walking into a house that had a dining table in front of the tv and a partial floor to walk on. We got it all nearly done, just a bit by the pantry and inside the pantry - and, of course, all the trim. I'll post pictures of the final product once we're completely done.
Today we decided to leave our mark on the house as the first owners of it. Madie and I love to watch "If Walls Could Talk" which shows old houses and the history left behind by previous owners. We decided to have each of us decorate our own little square on the lino in the pantry, so that the next owner(s) might some day find it if they ever take up the planks we put in it. Pete wanted to put "Why did you pull up our wood flooring?! Don't you know how much work it was to put in?!". But we thought it best not to accost any future owners of our home. ;-)
Pete is working as we speak, trying to lay the final planks in the pantry, so we can be just one step closer to having a finished floor, but I'm feeling so much happier to know that at the very least my house is 99% back in order. No more table in the living room or refrigerator pulled out in front of the pantry. We actually even ate at our table last night with our visitors and it was GREAT! Can't wait to share the final project of our first major inside home-improvement project. Yay!
