Kinda Extreme Makeover

The floor in the whole house were just nasty when we bought it. The carpet smelled like dogs and amount of dog hair and urine in the carpet were enough to make me reconsider getting a pet. All the floor had to go! We got carpet right after we got the house but we've been shopping around and trying to put what's in our heads to reality. It takes time. So here's our front room we just finished. It had the ugly, horrible carpet and ugly, horrible tile.


See the urine!!!! Ewwwww! That's why I'm taking pictures and Erik's doing the dirty work. :)


Almost ready to start putting down the floor.

Finished! It only took a week but we got it done. Well, I should say Erik got it done because my job was to wipe the glue off the floor. But I'm dang good at wiping up the glue!

Now we just have to get the tile in and we're done with our ugly floor! Yay! And if you come over, I bet you won't be able to see where we colored the cracks with a Sharpie.
