Today [9]

Thanks LPt1, although we had ours this side the pond in March, but we Mums can always accept more praise when it's around.

Got my floor partially in today. Had to do some running to get some more wood. Next up is the stain and lacquer.

Planning a dance?

On my way to the office, someone threw a big dead rat on to the road just seconds before I passed by with my clean bike, run over it, got my bike now decorated with some blood splash.

Joan .. ty.. Mom's deserve a lot more than most ever get.. seems they are the worlds fixers,
from skinned knees to major education to almost anything needed.

Back to work after a week's leaves.

No it was given to someone else. Better luck next time.

BTW, here's a pic taken while leaving for the party... :)

Haha....no.
Hard to explain, but the main idea of it is that I took out a wood burning fireplace that was built into the corner of the living room. The carpet was cut to fit the area around the fireplace. Now, since I took it out, there's a section in the corner( where the TV will be when i'm done) that has no carpet. So, rather than re-carpet the whole living room, i'm making my own wood floor for the corner.

Just now got done cutting the last two pieces of 1x12's. Will work on staining it Friday, and hopefully it will be done and in on Saturday.
The one issues is that I have to re-route the satellite wires. They came in roughly 2 feet from where the digital box would be, and they didn't leave much play for some reason, so I have to drill another hole, closer to the floor somewhere behind where the TV will be.

The ceiling is a whole other animal. A little more complicated, but still not the end of the world. Just a lot of work.



EDIT: This pic gives you an idea of what i've been up to lately. The boards are just loose fit, sitting there for now. They will be stained dark, lacquered, and secured. There will be a stand and a 42" TV on it, so any quirks won't be noticed really.

Cool, looking good. Hokey Pokey maybe?
