The Nesting Begins

We had to take out the carpet in the living room. It was pretty gross and I wasn't about to leave it for my kid to crawl around on. So we took out the carpet in the living room, hall, and one bedroom (the rest of the house is government VCT tile, commercial type stuff). This is what the floor under the carpet looked like. It would have taken a zillion hours and a ton of work to refinish the floors, especially since it was two different colored stains. So we laid laminate flooring on top with the help of Jeremy and Jen. It only took a day, starting at 10, with breaks, done by 6.
You can see the two different colors. Our house was one of the last homes owned by the Town of Fort Peck, and it wasn't really taken care of. But when are rentals taken care of?
And after. We did the livingroom and dining room. I ordered the carpet for the hall and three bedrooms last week. Our flooring projects should be done by the end of next month, with the exception of the bathroom and kitchen, both of which will take much more than just flooring.

You are getting more and more domestic every day - and it's even hunting season! Now this is true nesting when you could be out killing something!
