Hardwood floors!

Edit: I am blogging on my android phone. Formatting is very hard. I apologise for the weird picture captions.

R tore out the living and dining room carpet finding lenoium, below that was black roofing tar paper. Finally he found hardwood. We are guessing it is pine or maybe maple. Not that we care what exactly it is. It was in decent shape, needing sanding and a few coats of polyurethane. We decided to only do the living room and dining room floors. Leaving the two bedrooms for a summer project. Our plan is to use the 2nd bedroom as storage this winter. Eventually it will be a guest room with some storage. Our actual bedroom is just that a room full of beds. A queen for R and I and a short Ikea bunk bed for the kids. The root celler door is still accessible, and some room near the window for a small dresser or something. More on the bedroom later in another post.

Now on to the pictures.

Living room floor, no more carpet, lenoium or tar paper. R said it was very tacky finish and needed lots of sanding.
