Mostly a picture blog today......I pulled up the carpeting in the living room and hallway and BC and I set a new wood floor.....bamboo.....and I love it. Jen, Peters GF helped me paint the room. It was a frosty grey kinda color, the carpet used to be burgundy. The job would have moved along a lot faster but we had so many problems with the nailing gun and compressor. Once we got working equipment we were able move at a good steady pace.
































You can see the old color of the wall. We originally found hard wood floors under the carpet and originally thought we would just sand those down and refinish them, however, as you will see from more pictures the floor was covered in paint and we found 2 bad areas that had to be cut out due to dry rot and lots of dog piss. Previous owners dog must have used every spot for a bathroom. The carpet was so stained and stunk soooooooo bad. We pulled the old baseboard up as well it it was urined stained as well..... Stunk as bad as the carpet.Sad thing is the carpet wasn't supposed to be that old.....but it was cheap arpet.....the dye came up and got tracked into the kitchen so the white kitchen floors are now pink......that will be replaced soon as well. Or at least when I pay off the cost of the bamboo flooring. Well here are some more pictures of the process.......


























And here is the room once floor was down....furniture in place.....and curtains up..............
