Woohoo!

We have floor!

Ok, it's just in the dining room/office but it's a start. Tonight is going to be moving stuff out of one half of the living room, cutting carpet and padding, moving that to the dumpster then moving all the stuff to the other half of the room, ripping up that carpet and padding and moving that out to the dumpster. Can you say tiring?

We got almost all of the stuff outside into the dumpster except a few things that we are going to put on top of the padding/carpet from the livingroom. We got the place cleaned up as well last night in preparation for having to move some of that stuff into the office so we can actually work on the living room. Plus, we have a bunch of boxes that we need to go through since the movers decided to do weird things like pack electronics with storage room stuff or clothing or miscellaneous stuff. Once we go through the 8+ boxes, we'll probably end up with a small stack of electronics and a bunch more stuff for the storage room. This way we won't have to move all 8 boxes around repeatedly because they're really freaking heavy!

We'll get some pictures done once we get the living room floor done as well. Once this batch of flooring is complete, all that'll be left of the flooring downstairs is to put up moldings around and transition pieces. We're not going to do that though until we jack up the ceiling and put up new walls because we'd just need to tear all the molding down to do that.

Some point in time soon, we're going to need to go get a ladder so that we can get up on the roof and paint all the new flashing that's up there to seal it against water damage. Unfortunately, we're going to have to paint it that nasty green or it'll look really out of place. It'll get painted the good color once we get around to that part of the house.
