and they will know me by the trail of sawdust

Jess and I are nearly finished reflooring the studio. Those of you that have been around to see it — namely, my parents, my sister, and her finance the day we put the floor down, and two friends last night — might have some idea of how much work has been involved. At this point, it needs to be sanded one more time, taped off and painted, and then sealed. Then, after we peel the tape up, we’ll need to retouch some of the baseboards. If I’m very diligent it’ll all be done before a photography session I have on Friday. If not, I’ll put painting off until next week.

I hope the floor ends up being as durable as we were led to believe it would be because it’s been a lot of work to put in. Thankfully, aside from the effort involved, the costs have been low. So, if it doesn’t work out, we can always destroy it and put in something else.

I think that, when we finally get it finished, we should throw a photo party. Interested?

Next we’ll be digging in to the living room floor. It’s already without carpet, now we just need to put something on that concrete.

    Wow! That sounds like a lot of effort. Well done!

    Can’t see me making a party, even though I really need one!

    I can’t believe you’ve done hardwood floors on your own. I’m so impressed! I’d love a photo party…or ANY of your parties for that matter. My in-laws have requested the girls for next week, meaning I might have some free time…if they don’t back out on me this time like they did last time. I’m scared to get my hopes up or make any plans as of yet though.
