All In...



We've done it, we jumped ship, we went all in, we ripped up the carpet out of the foyer and the old living room (still haven't done the dining room yet). It was and is going to be about as much work as expected. Though I didn't expect all the PAINT all over the living room, really people it's called a drop cloth. We have a few holes from old vents that need to be patched (which are currently patched with plywood and plaster). Tonight I'll be going to PACA (where old houses go to be reused, old house store) to see if they have any oak flooring, so I can use that to patch. If they don't have any and I can't find any...I'll have to re-purpose some already in the house. Ie- the nook under the staircase, or something...Anyway they will look beautiful when we refinish them just like the other two rooms we've already done.

The week is halfway over already and is going pretty fast. Tomorrow students move into the dorms, we've already seen an increase of students in the area. This weekend is the Sweet Corn Festival! Woot, yummy midwest sweet corn.

Some new pictures are up.
