One of the most time consuming projects we have tackled ourselves has been the floors!!! Sure there was carpet that has been down for at least 20 years. But there was hardwood underneath! So why shouldn't two 20 something girls be able to figure this out?
At least that is what we thought...

| Green Shag in Anna's room |
We called in Anna's dad to take the carpet away!
And we cleaned the floors in this room in ONE evening!
Sure I had the black lung for a week BUT it was done!
Boy were we wrong!
Under the carpet was red padding that was either suctioned to the floor or completly molded to the floor.
After about 3 weeks of using a putty knife to scrape the floor we decided to call in reinforcements!!!
Having the chemicals helped! But it was still a slow process! Finally once all of the red was removed (if there is still red on the floor it deserves to stay!) we have sealed the floor and it looks AMAZING!
Would I do this again? Probably not... ok definitely not. But the floors might be my favorite part of the house. Except for the stairs!! But that is another story.
I absolutely love it! i have one talented bff!!! hey, when you finish this, maybe we should start flipping houses!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, they are gorgeous. We have wood floors, but nothing is nicer than original old word floors! So excited to be able to follow along here with your homeowner adventures!
