Carpet -b- gone
One or both of our sweet innocent little (bastard) kitties had decided that she really liked the carpet in our new bedroom - as a pisser unfortunately. A little investigation shows why - evidentially there have been other kitties in that carpet’s past that have had similar inclinations. In any case, we aren’t big wall to wall carpet fans anyway. We were pretty certain that the same nice oak floors that are in the rest of the house would also be under foot in the bedroom so we set out to tear the old crap out.
Unfortunately, we got the idea to do this at 9:30 on Friday night - so we weren’t actually done to the point where the bed could go back into the room until well after 1am. All in all it was successful. The floors in the bedroom now are only slightly worse looking that those in the rest of the house, but that’s still pretty good. Besides, It’ll probably serve as the motivation we need to rent a sander this coming summer and refinish the floors in the whole place. I kind of dig the rough, worn look of the floors right now, but I know that the old oak will be absolutely beautiful when sanded and finished properly.
