Floor Scraping


We have been working on the second story floors for the past week... what a disaster the old linoleum was! The pitch is nasty business, but we discovered that soy gel works well if left on over night under plastic.

We wouldn't wish this project on anyone, the process is slow and painful... but we are slowly getting down to the good stuff and will soon have our lovely old wood floors back!

Stay tuned for more pictures as we make progress.

As promised... The newly exposed floor sultrily peeks out from beneath its veil, whispering, "I was buried alive! What took you so long?"
