Whoa - it feels like I've been away for months.
I've sat down to post...but then got all meh about it.
Then I got Foxtel and had to catch up on months of complete TRASH tv.
Then Cyclone restarted school and it's been a very successful venture and therefore I've had more time to do other things.
These other things have made me particularly tired and nearly unable to think which has been quite a lovely holiday from a head jammed full of a million different thoughts shooting in 500 different directions.
It's all been very Wax On, Wax Off and good for the soul, and my house is benefiting too.
Due to budget restrictions (who am I kidding - budget STRANGLEHOLD), I've had to do the floors of the house myself.
50 years of dirt -
I pulled up the carpet in a rampage when Betty Boo started crawling. We had three dogs at the time and carpet is just ick. I left the boards bare for 2 years but it was still cleaner than carpet.
This is the remnants of old lino glued fast to the timber. I hope it's not a problem to rip off - I can always tile over it I suppose.
With all the carpet up and staples pulled out of the floor it's time to punch all the nails into the floor. All of them! If you don't you will rip the nailhead off when sanding (not good) and rip the sandpaper to shreds.
You can see the sanding machine ready to go in the before shot.
More before
Half done!
DONE!
New carpet - over $2500
Do it yourself sand and polish $450
It's loud and dusty and will take an entire weekend but I'm thrilled with the results. The sander isn't too hard to handle once you get the hang of it and I'm pleased to report no holes in the timber.
Here's a gratuitous sexy powertool pic....sorry that's as sexy as it's gonna get with a floor sander.
I don’t give a rip about Bill Cosby
-
Bill Cosby is all over the news. You can read the transcripts of his court
testimony from 2005. You can read that his wife believes the victims
willingly ...
