Happy Thanksgiving!

Before you start feeling sorry for us, just remember, we had many options to go other places for Thanksgiving dinner, but we decided to work on the house since it was Caleb and I's only day off together this weekend. And we accomplished a lot. Most of the afternoon was spent getting the floors ready for stripping. We started the day with a trip to Kroger to pick up our delightful BBQ chicken Thanksgiving meal. Notice the elaborate table setting.

Cheers!

Our dumpster that we thought would be too big but is actually almost full.

Chloe stand!

Waiting for Caleb to get in from outside.

Since I couldn't do much of anything while he was working with the floors, I tackled the stairs and pulled all the staples.


While stripping the floor didn't seem to affect the color very much, we did get a lot more of the tar off the floors. Before:

I'm off to find a case of wood to patch in the floors today!
