Moving back in

So... it has been 3 weeks today since we started working on our hard wood floors. What an adventure it has been so far, let me tell you. I am happy to say that we are ALMOST at the end of it:o). We are done with the big job of refinishing the wood. That was major. Now we are in a process of performing the smaller jobs like trimming and painting. It is still very time consuming but at least we are not limited on where we can or cannot walk.

This is how day #1 of the first weekend looked like:

We were covered with saw dust that entire weekend. During the following week my job was to fill in all the cracks. That alone took me three days.

Second weekend of our project was more sanding after me caking on the wood filler. Not as easy as we thought. Then in a middle of the following week I applied a single layer of wood sealer. After that the floor looked like this:
Much better, wouldn't you say?

The third weekend was varnishing. We survived it (barely) and now we are so enjoying the looks of it especially when things are returning back to normal.

NOT NORMAL:

My kitchen??? And we managed to squeeze our TV and stand in there after I took the pictures.

Yesterday, I created more space by moving the couches and piano into the living room. Yea, I can get to the sink now.

Katlynn and Gevin always like to have their pictures taken. They are two little goofball:o)Check out more picture of them in the SLIDE SHOW.
