We're Hurtin'


After pulling up floors for days and days, it's totally healthy to start creating superhero personas for yourself...



Woah!

Let me start by saying that yesterday was a rough one. We got a lot done, but came home exhausted and aching. As I mentioned yesterday, we've discovered that for reasons we may never understand, the kitchen floor was made up of many layers, like a cake. A huge, miserable, nailed-together cake. 


The layers, from top to bottom, go like this:
  1. linoleum - glued down
  2. plywood (luan) - nailed down REALLY well
  3. more linoleum
  4. more plywood
  5. actual floor of house
Depending on where you're standing in our kitchen at this
point, you may see any one of these five layers.

Here's David showing Linoleum Layer # 1 who's boss...

And heeeere's what it looked like as we began to peel up Linoleum Layer #2, to unearth the bottom layer of plywood...

The house is still in total disarray, and David will be out of town for work all week, so we'll see what kind of progress I can make by myself. Anyone wanna come over for a staple-pulling party? 

Yeah, I didn't think so.
