I realize there isn’t really anything new to add to the world about the fact that we removed carpet and restored wood floors. I only add it here, because if you’ve done it, you know how instantly gratifying it is.
Just say no to Dusty Rose.
Say "YES!" to hardwood floors!
Yes, it is gratifying, especially since the entire main floor was covered in this nasty pink carpet. It is fun to roll it back and haul it out.
Fun. Until you get to the tack strip.
Man, that tack strip was everywhere. It took days to remove and we all were poked 10,000 times with those damn sharp tacks. AND I had a fever in this picture…just to make sure we all were having super amounts of fun.
But the end result was worth it! Our hardwood flooring guy was a GENIUS. An artist really. Look what he did!
ooooo
ahhhhhhh
oohhhhhh
So to recap:

Lovely.
