Flooring!

Today's project (and probably several more days after) is flooring. So after we signed our life away during closing, we went shopping and bought almost all the things we'll need. So project one, flooring. First we ripped up almost off the carpeting. By 'we' I mostly mean Joe, his brother and brother in law. Underneath the carpet in the living room, we found not one, not two but 3 hardwood floors on top of each other. Really, who does that? So the first level was really terrible, so we went to the next level. This is the junk wood that Joe tore out.

 This is a really nice floor, it's just covered in huge nails that I get to help pull out. This is a close up. Pretty isn't it?

In our bedroom we pulled this lovely orange carpet up to find the owners didn't feel like tacking it down, just spreading glue over the whole floor.

So now half the carpet padding is stuck to the floor. Another job for me and my sister! But at least we're covering it with laminate flooring so it doesn't have to be perfect.

Home ownership is fun! (At least that what I'm hoping I'll eventually believe =D)
