Floor Transformation

So, we sucked it up and paid for the wood floors in the kitchen and upstairs to be refinished. If you remember Sue and I ripped up the first layer of lanoleum off the kitchen floor and pulled out hundreds of staples. We were left with a second layer of pink lanoleum that jon had to chip off piece by piece to reveal the original wood floor beneath. To be honest I didn't even believe it was wood becaues it was so covered in lanoleum glue that had turned back and was all sticky and gummy. Luckily the floor guys we hired were able to sand through it (they were not happy - but they did it). It feels awesome to have those floors done - it would have taken us forever to do that job. Here are some shots of the transformation....

After the 1st layer of grey lanoleum was ripped up....(the second layer that you see was pink - Awesome!)
The floor is back to the original and the kitchen is almost done...just baseboards and we can quit working in the kitchen!
It has made big progress since the day we moved in... (this picture was posted when the house was for sale by the previous owners)
