More Home Renos

Hubby has been fast and furiously ripping out the carpets in the TV room and hot tub/workout room downstairs. He’s laying cream colored berber carpet down there, so it’s really brightened it up! All he has left is the baseboards in the hot tub room, and then the stairway. I’m going to paint the stairwell and TV room down there eventually when he’s all finished.

While he was fussing and banging around in the basement I cleaned the upstairs really well. Tomorrow I’ll hit the main floor, and clean that now that hubby is finished tracking up the whole house with his renos.

Tomorrow is my Mom’s birthday. She will be 72 years old. My brother is bringing her up for dinner on Saturday. They haven’t seen the house since we put in all the new flooring, so they’re excited to see everything. My brother is having laminate flooring installed in his kitchen right away too.

Bitch of the Day: Ever notice that home renos are like a never ending circle? I painted the main floor all summer, and finally got all the touch-ups and everything finished, paints put away, etc. Then we decided rather suddenly to install hardwood floors. Well needless to say, my paint job took quite a few nicks and dings! I finally got all those touch ups done a couple of weeks ago. Now, hubby did that carpeting, and yet AGAIN I’ve got touch ups! Grrrrr (but it looks mighty fine)
