So, not going anywhere...yet. And a new floor!

I wouldn't call that last post pre-mature. I am not sure how often Four Beds Two Baths will be updated in the future, but hey, look!! We are working on our house!!
Spur of the moment, we started ripping up the old floor in the kitchen. We've been here for a year, and one of the first projects that we promised to one another when we moved in, was to work on the kitchen. Over the past year, you've seen some of our more grandiose plans, some small musings, a whole lot of bitching, and then total and complete inaction. I guess we both had had enough with that nasty floor. And the other night we just started ripping. Even if whatever we were going to do next was a temporary solution, we needed a change and we needed it now.
Then this morning, Kyle heads out and next thing you know he's back from Home Depot with this lovely stuff. To be honest, this was his second trip. What was brought home the first time was deemed unacceptable. But look at our new floor just waiting for us!
Everything was shuffled out of the kitchen into the dining room.
And we started scraping and peeling.
Peeling and scraping.

We're done for the night. Kyle started to measure and cut a few angles, and for laughs, I rolled it out to cover most of the floor. And it. is. glorious!! For $150 I think I will stop whining and complaining about the kitchen. At least for a little while.
When all is said and done, I will certainly be updating again.
