This week a 61 year old treasure was brought to life in our home. I'm talking about the original wood floor we found under the carpet. It's fir and it cleaned up beautifully!! We were told that usually 80% - 85% of moisture spots sand out. We were estatic when everything came off with the first sanding!! They sanded 3 times, put two epoxy coats on and then a poly coat.
We are getting the baseboards painted ( I'm waiting for the first coat to dry right now :) and then we can get moved back into that room tonight. YEAH!
The kids left yesterday morning for their summer youth retreat with the youth group from our church. 5 days in Wyoming. This is the first year all 3 of the kids are in youth group together.
They got about 20 minutes into the 5 hour trip and the bus broke down so they had to rent vans. This is the same bus that broke down just past Las Vegas last summer on their way to Mexico for a missions trip!
Hmmmmmm.....anybody want to buy a bus? :)
DJ and I are enjoying the time together.....we cleaned the yard yesterday and we are working on the living room and ATV's today. Tomorrow we are going 4 wheeling with our friends Bill and Erin and then Saturday we are going 4 wheeling with our friend Doug.
It will be so nice to get up in the mountains! Hopefully I'll get some good pictures to share with you :)
Love to you all!
