Getting To The Bottom Of It

The first project on the house was the roof and everything since has kind of trickled downward.  We crammed ourselves in the living room where we kept our bed, television and computer behind a draped quilt for some feigned privacy.  It made working on the upstairs a lot easier since we didn’t have to move furniture around or clean up every time we wanted to go to sleep.  The upper level eventually became livable and the improvements began descending–the stairs, the kitchen, a downstairs bath, painting the walls and now, time for the floor.

The fabulous subflooring.  At least it’s nice and sturdy if not particularly attractive.

Well . . . when we finish prepping all of it.  Sigh.  Every little bit helps I suppose.  I keep telling myself that this’ll be one of the last BIG projects–the rest will be finishing up the detailing, which I imagine can’t take much more effort than we’ve already acquired a tolerance for.  I also like to remind myself that hardwood floors look beautiful and will only help the resale value of the house.  And of course, I will enjoy it in the time being.
