I am so sore.
Who needs a gym membership when you have a house to renovate? The good thing about a gym membership is you get to rest. The good thing about home renovation is you see results right in front of you. Like a great big pile of trash you made. Hmmm...
I'm impressed. Vicki and I did a really good job filling that dumpster. We got almost all the wood from the first floor in it and all the wood paneling. I'm also pissed tho that if it weren't for my neighbors' contributions, I would have gotten all the trash out of my house. All of it! Now tho I'm going to need help from someone in a pickup truck or cut lots of 2x4's up and pile 'em in my truck.
I spent two hours raking the crowbar across the wood floor pulling up linoleum tile. My arms hurt a lot now. But it was the only way to do it. I'm not even done. There are two layers of linoleum on top of masonite that was hammered into the floor. And there are so many @#$?! nails! It blows my mind.
I guess the question is, do I pull them all out and fill in the holes with wood filler before I refinish the floor or do I hammer them all in and not worry about it? I'm sure the sander wouldn't do well running over all those nail heads tho. If it weren't for the crowbarring I wouldn't even have to refinish the floor. The floor is beautiful. It's hurts me to do it.
Boy I hope this blog doesn't become totally whiney.
