Wow.. It's been over a month since I've last posted in my blog, and with good reason! We are in the process of replacing all of our carpeting with wood floors. The dogs had an accident in our bedroom while we were out of town and I think that was the last straw for us. Dogs, kids and me (the biggest culprit) do not go well with light colored carpet. We're just so tired of cleaning something that is always dirty...even after a good scrubbing. Martin's brother replaced his carpet with Pergo and gave Martin a chance to get his hands dirty at his place before giving it a whirl at our house.
Martin has made great progress on all the prep work. We are now down to just concrete throughout the entire house with the exception of the stairs (for comfort) and our bedroom (for now). Furniture is randomly all over the house and we've had our computer disconnected for a couple of weeks. And I thought caffine withdraw was bad, that ain't nothing next to computer withdraw!
We are motivated by the fear of baby! I am due in just 10 weeks and the floors aren't due to arrive until late January. The wood has been on backorder and the arrival date pushed back twice. Martin is doing all the prep work and installation so I am continually reminding him of the baby countdown. I think I pushed him over the edge when I told him that technically I am full term in just 6 weeks. He threatened to just throw epoxy?..poxy? down on the concrete and call the job done. I think I'll just shut my mouth from here on out.
He's done a great job getting the baby room ready. He did all the painting complete with a highlight wall, blue sky ceiling and crown molding. Wow! Nolan is excited about the changes and loves running around the living room with his baby doll stroller and playing ball with Cody. I think he's going to be the only one bummed about the wood floors going in.
I'll be slowly posting pictures of all our holiday adventures.
