semperfionaEverything's done. Everything's done. It was one hell of a long day: I went over at 10:30am, left at 10:30pm. My friend Christine, her husband Kirk (yeah, a different one, same name), and her ex Jim all came and helped me in the evening, but the daytime I worked alone, scraping up tarpaper from the kitchen floor.
My back is aching from bending over, and my hands are covered in blisters from pushing the chisel. Yes, I know, maybe I should have used gloves. But I thought they would make it chafe worse.
We got the carpet from the stairs and hallway torn out, the ugly plastic tread covers that were under it removed, all the quarter-round moldings off, and the fridge moved out of the way.
I think the house is going to look absolutely gorgeous when they're done, you can see a hint of it now. And it should be much brighter, too, without dark floors and dark carpets.
