When Bill and I were starting on this adventure (nearly) EVERYONE told me to watch all these renovation shows on HGTV. Well...last night Bill and I finally watched three or four episodes of a few different shows and now...this is happening.

Well...it wasn't entirely the HGTV network's fault. When we took out the appliances it revealed a pretty moldy subfloor. And if those First Time Flippers can put in laminate, so can we! I mean, it's not like we have a lot to do... -_- Curse or blessing? You decide.

When the day started I thought, "Hmm, won't be much to blog about today..." But, it seems like there's always a little something. Like deciding to chop up a kitchen floor... We did manage to "finish" cleaning some rooms. Liam's room is looking pretty good.

Some soap suds still drying. Normally I don't clean hardwood with water - but the floors are literally black with dirt. They must be scrubbed.
This wall is being a jerk. It's cracked all over and paint is peeling like a bad sunburn. I am trying my best...
This will one day be a guest room - it might be the room Bill and I use while the master is being gutted.

The floors had just been mopped here - but seeing them like this, we are headed out to get some poly finish ASAP. Love this room.

This is me actually flipping off that broom. Apparently, I sweep with quite a bit of passion.

It actually broke while I was prepping the deck for a power wash and the metal pinched my finger.

I thought this was going to be a satisfying job. Bill and I took turns power washing the decks. As you can see, they really needed it. Unfortunately, as someone who has sanded decks two summers in a row...spending all that time today, getting intimate with the planks of our deck...ugh. Sanding is going to be a pain. And so many planks are rotten.

Sorry, I'm starting to sound like a Debbie downer. It WAS satisfying to get the decks cleaned off. And, look at my little guy on the pond...

Lastly, it's moments like this - Finn and a buddy kayaking out on the pond - that makes all this scrubbing and trouble shooting worth it. At least, these are the moments that are getting me through all the scrubbing and trouble shooting.
