I can't wait to see what the boys think of their room!
We rearranged some decorations to update the living room.
We had to completely drain and clean the aquarium in order to install the floors. In the process, we lost Hoover, our giant sucker fish. Hopefully the kids won't be too upset and will enjoy getting new fish for the tank.
Although it was a lot of hard work and a big undertaking for us, we are so glad we did it. I think I gained a couple pounds during the installation since the only breaks we took were to eat, so I really enjoyed mealtimes! We wore ourselves out. Eric installed some of the baseboards, but we ran out of time so some of them will have to wait. Any advice on how to clean the floors? I'm on the look out for a great dust mop now that the construction work is done. We miss our kids like crazy and can't wait to see them!
Wow! All of that hard work and you have something beautiful to show for it! :) Love the color of the floors. Awesome job!!
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed! We used to love these projects, but now our knees are way too old!
ReplyDeleteStunning! Great teamwork.

ReplyDeleteI love the broom I use and discovered a new mop last week at the beach.
