Floor installation: day 1

Today we cleared out the great room in preparation of laying down some hardwood flooring. It didn't take as long as I thought it would, but boy do we have a lot shit.




With all but the tv gone.

I vacuumed the rugs and carpet too. When I got back from my game, the hubster had cleared out the rest of the room and we started on removing the baseboard. We had to make a second stop to Home Depot to pick up a putty knife and some nippers. Here's a picture of the first two pieces of baseboard removal.




Our carpets are filthy. Those damn dogs. We only got about halfway through the room, but we're ahead of schedule and we might be able to lay down floors tomorrow instead of Saturday. It looks like we'll be able yo reuse the baseboard, so that is good and will save us some money! Here's what Red was doing while we were working.




She's laying on some fresh laundry and our new bedroom rug. She was being a grumpy bitch, mumbling and groaning while we worked.

I'm pretty excited about the floors. I hope we dont run into a lot of obstacles. Ready for tomorrow and day 2!
