Remove Carpets...Check




We have mad so much progress in the past 4 days. John has been going to the house after work each day and our friend Terrance has been joining John in all the nasty jobs that I don't want to do! So far they have ripped up all the carpet from the 1970's, removed all trim that had about 5 coats of paint on, and the yellow stained laminate kitchen flooring is gone. There was about 2 inches of dirt and grim behind the appliances, I don't think it ever got cleaned.

We have had some awesome help so far. Our friend Mike (a.k.a Carwash) installed our new locks, fixed our gate to the fence so Puma can't escape, and helped remove the laminate/cork closet doors. My Mother-in-Law Pat has been there helping as well with the sanding, spackling and therapist. So far a good go at the house. Even our contractor Pete was impressed with the progress we have made in such a short time. Tonight the painting will start. First the ceilings. Currently they are painted pink, blue and yellow. And the Closets have a 3 color system going on, awesome! It's amazing how much larger the space looks without the carpet, not to mention it smells a whole heck of a lot better! Our before and after transformations are going to be stunning!!!!
