Let the Updates Begin!!!!!

Posted by Natalie at 12:42 PM

As much as I want to have to house updated, and to our taste, part of my just wants to sit and wait for 6-12 months before the chaos ensues. . .well, as you can see by the following pictures, I didn't win that battle.  I didn't try very hard because I knew I would lose, but after preparing a house to put on the market, then showing that house, then moving out of that house, then living in somebody elses house for a long time, then finally moving into this house and organizing and putting away and unpacking and cleaning and starting kindergarten and blah blah blah, I was just already tired. . .what the heck, it's been mayhem for the last 7 months, whats a few more eh?!

Here's the beginning of the next 10 years worth of house projects. . .

October 22, 2011 - The weird entry wall comes down. 



October 25 - Jared and I tear out the carpet in the living room and pull out all the nails, staples, and old carpet tack.

October 26, 2011 - We tear out the linoleum from the kitchen.  Thank goodness Adam came to help out. . .

 Amazing!!!  Check out this old linoleum!!!!  The best part about it is that this is the exact same linoleum that is in my grandpas house!
And some more awesome linoleum.  Why did they ever cover this up?!!
 Oh it's a long story about installing the wood floors.  Hire someone?  Do it ourselves?  Hire someone to help us do it ourselves?  We finally settle on hiring someone and the quote goes all ske-wompus so they are out. . .we're back to hiring someone to help us. . .then we hire 2 guys (thank goodness) and they are up there finishing as we speak!!!  

This is why we didn't want to do it ourselves, tying in the new to the old without totally screwing the whole thing up.  Here's what it looked like yesterday after they had taken out the old pieces along the edge to tie into the new.
