Peeling away layers and layers of old flooring....vinyl...plywood...linoleum...glue....hmmm...anyone have experience getting glue off of maple flooring?

 

  

 

  

The Kitchen Renovation Begins

One Year Anniversary of The Project

We had our first real snow of the season to celebrate our one year anniversary of Life in the Project. Yep, we closed on the house and moved in this same weekend last year. It was a winter wonderland outside when we woke up this morning. We are so festive. Nice wreath, eh? A family member very kindly made it for us.

All of the Trimmings

We utilized the guest worker program again this weekend to get trim up in our new bedroom and bathroom. Looks great. Just a few more finishing touches and these rooms will be ready! It's so exciting to have windowsills.

More Big Machines in the Neighborhood

About two months ago, a trunk of our neighbor's giant maple tree fell and crushed her garage. Luckily, only a few small branches hit our house. She was finally able to arrange for its removal last week. They brought a big crane down the street in front of her house and then swung it around back to get the tree out. Unfortunately, we had to go to work and missed all the excitement, but apparently there was some repelling involved.

Guest Worker Program

Offer them Thanksgiving dinner and put them to work!
