The End!

Day…something. 9?  Anyone care to count? I’m just thrilled it’s over. Our biggest house project so far. Done. And it looks amazing. It even looked great before it was finished. Finished! Still a little dusty, but done. The house felt so big with the new floor running all the way through it. I didn’t want [ READ MORE ]

Day 7

Day 7, Thursday See that nasty grey spot on the carpet? Isn’t it nicely framed by the clean carpet that was under the couch? That filthy grey spot is exactly where my baby will NOT be crawling. Carpet is gross. Carpet next to the couch is gross. Carpet where the dog lays next to the [ READ MORE ]
