Living room this afternoon:

Under all of that smoke-scented carpet, the 89 year-old pine floor boards are still here. Some are painted, some stained, some covered up with a faux wood wallpaper (why?!), and there are several inexplicable drill holes to deal with. But all in all, I think they’re reclaimable. After a little patching, a lot of sanding, and many many coats of polyurethane, they might come through with a nice antique look.

I’m hiring a bunch of dudes to do that part, though.

Tomorrow, I may tackle the stairs and the hallway. Purple carpet, I spit at thee!
