Wood floor!!

Nate has found hardwood flooring under two layers of carpeting and a layer of fake wood laminate! This is still part of the living room project. Ben suggested he look, and lo and behold, there was wood.

Yesterday (Sunday) was a big day at The Burrow. There were lots of helpers there...Steve, Paula, Derrick, Terese, and Leo. Sam came by, Liz came by, Allie came by. The house absorbed everyone very easily and lots of work got done.


Paula was already putting a third coat of white paint on the trim in the living room when we arrived. Nate, Steve, and Derrick did the final push with moving all the stuff from the cottage.

We can thank Derrick for exhuming the bathtub madonna. He suggested that this will be the new "ice cooler" for beer during our campfires. Cool idea, hunh?

Paul caulked the roof and other places. Therese and Leo started scraping the laminate off the wood floor and were joined later by Nate, Steve, and Derrick. Jan washed windows and Paula washed and washed the bedrooms walls. Maegan kept the kitchen going and put up clean new blinds on all of the clean windows.

At the end of the day, a lot of work got done...just in time for the first official snowfall on The Burrow.
