Beautiful floors

January 3rd, 2007 at 11:35 pm

Oh my God!!! My floors are all done and they are GORGEOUS! I'm so happy I've done this! One thing I like -- besides the warm, homey appearance -- is the QUIET of these floors. They are not "clacky" at all, but seem to actually mute footsteps. I think my dog is a little freaked out!

This was money well spent.

Now I have to paint the kitchen walls before the new appliances are delivered. I have tomorrow evening, and Friday morning. I should go get the paint tonight, but I'm too tired.

I didn't spend anything today, and I scored a lot of free food at work. Most of it was not good for me, but someone put out oranges to share. I had one for lunch, and there were still some left at the end of the day, so I brought one home.

I am pondering the $20 challenge. If I do it, I will use the money I raise toward home repairs, rather than put it in savings. Home repair is what I really have to do now. But I don't have any bright ideas yet for how to spin $20 into something greater. I have already done all the traditional money-saving things for a long time, like brown-bagging etc. -- so I have to really think to come up with something new.

Totally off-topic -- as much as I regret the passing of Gerald Ford, I am enjoying all the coverage of Grand Rapids. I moved there when I was ten and lived there until I was 15. They were very happy years for me, and I love seeing the city on the national news. Gerald Ford's childhood home was not far from mine, and I went to the same high school -- but he was already a Congressman when I lived there, so we weren't buds. He did come to one of our band concerts once!

    So glad you are enjoying your floors! We had to pull up a bunch from hurricane damage and I can't wait to get them done. We will probably finish all the other repairs first. I guess we're working from the ceiling down.
