More Pictures

For some reason, this blog will only let me put in so many pictures before it fights me.

Master bedroom before.  Note the glue stain from old carpet.

Master bedroom after the floors were finished.

Master bedroom looking toward the master bath.  The wall markings are gone enough so that we can tear out the rest of the wall and enlarge the bathroom without worrying about the original footprint of the room.

Rick also did a beautiful job of finishing the cherry tables for the living room.  We have yet to figure out where to put everything.

Finished cherry table top.

We have two of these and one long sofa table.

The original tile in this house was built to last. Using all his might, Rick could barely chip it away in pieces.  Gladys fought back, cutting his hands, leg, and arms with flying tile chips.

Our main task today was getting rid of the tile in the kitchen.  We have lots of work to do yet before the kitchen is near being "livable" again.  After Rick finished with this, he scraped the walls and then plastered them.  Now it is my turn to go scrub the parts of the walls that I can get to in that room.


Cher used to sing, "And the beat goes on..."  This Sher now sings, "And the work goes on..."  Someday, Gladys will be a showplace, and she will always be a home to us.
