Working on the house

Difficulties getting time with high speed internet continue (or any internet for that matter.) At least I can post this now. This is what I wanted to post last week.

When we bought the house, it was in a major mess. Dirty, full of junk, and with lots of fixer upper work to do. In a couple of places the carpet was so worn that you could see the floor underneath it. Amazingly enough though that was one of the nice things about it. What you'd see is a spot of hardwood floor. Last weekend and this weekend we worked on pulling up the carpet. Here is basically our first view of the hardwood floor without carpet covering it up.

(as you can imagine, it's a dusty in there.)
