July 25, 2013 - Changes in the House

New flooring is finished!

Of course, we had to move the furniture...

Some days the best possible thing to happen is that the house gets emptied out (or at least a portion of it does) and you get to deep clean, and enjoy all the space!  That's been our house for the past few days.  Everything in the fridge got moved to the camper fridge...so the home refrigerator got thoroughly scrubbed.  Everything in the kitchen, dining room, and family room got moved out in preparation for new flooring.  Which means as everything moves back it gets scrubbed a bit more thoroughly than it might normally get.

 

We're going to need to do some touch-up painting.  1/4 inch of plywood had to be removed, which means the baseboards no longer match the paint.  Oh well, that just means we can paint behind the baseboards, and get a more complete job done there, too.

 

I'm playing with a new camera today.  I picked up one for use underwater, kayaking, boating, etc.  It'll take me a bit of time to get familiar with it, but as I used a similar one in Hawaii, I'm hoping the learning curve won't take too long.  I will, of course, share the results with you!
