Started a project that I’ve been wanting to do ,but I knew it would be a big job so I procrastinated for an entire year. We finally ripped up the nasty carpet in the dining room and living room and will put down vinyl tile . I painted the dining room last year. But we (I) still had to paint the living room and now we are working hard at preparing the subfloor so the tile will stick . That means removing all kinds of nails and mysterious substances from the plywood . Backbreaking work, and my hands hurt from pulling up staples and nails , but the reward will be worth it. We have done this in most of the other rooms in the house over the past few years. It’s a big pain because we have nowhere to put the furniture while we work. We just move it around . But tile is so much easier to clean!
Enjoy the Before photos!
Please say a prayer for us because we have a lot of work to do . Happy Friday!

Right there with you. Painting room-by-room now and landscaping. Then comes new flooring. Feels like the exhaustion will not end…. Good luck to y’all 🙂
🙌💪
Lots of hard work y’all are doing! It’s gonna be so nice when it’s done! 😊
I have left quite a few of my windows bare for the same reason – no neighbors and a nice view.
been there done that multiple times—and oddly I actually enjoyed yanking out those nails with my nail puller and hammer…maybe it’s the manual labor that makes me feel as if I’m actually making a physical difference that I can actually see….here’s to a new room!!!!
It’s a good feeling!

It’ll look so nice!
