We got our keys today to our new house! We didn't waste any time getting to work. After doing our walk through and reorienting ourselves with our new home, we got down to buisiness.
Brindzi seems excited for her new home! She sniffed out all the spots.
We opened all the windows and doors to get some fresh air in. The carpet is in really good shape but due to my allergies, its got to go.
Up it comes...
And look...wood floors underneath. No tar, no linoleum, but some kind of paint around the edges. They will have to be refinished but it was easier than we expected.
We are super excited that we don't have to pull up tar and other nasty things on the floor. We can get right to the sanding.
We did find some funky linoleum in the hallways. Wow its the 70s again!
We have to figure out what to do with this spot. The wood just stops where they added onto the house. Should we replace the whole hall or keep it and add the new floors from this point.
We ordered our new floors today. Antiqued Natural Oak floors. They are 5'' wide and have a hand scraped look. They should look pretty good!
We will keep you posted with all our pictures as we go. Next will be taking out the carpet tacks, gardening, and painting!

Sorry I couldn't come up to help this weekend, but Easter plans had already been in the works for me. How exciting, the floors look good :) Next work party I'm there
