It's a burden in some ways and really great in others. (See most recent post for some of the burdens we've dealt with so far.) It WAS quite the reward to find hardwood floors under the ugly-ass carpet.<BR/><BR/>Jodie K, tell me more about these orbs. I totally believe in that stuff :) (sort of). I'm going to see how pictures turn out after there aren't any particles floating around in the air, and there's no more paneling. Like, when the room is finished. We're doing dry wall now.Nicole https://www.blogger.com/profile/02447479916034764638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9977694.post-57975407997069260812007-11-02T12:54:00.000-05:002007-11-02T12:54:00.000-05:00Goodness!

If that is a devil room, you have serious orbs, which are spirit energy captured in film (if you believe that sort of thing).Jodie Kashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393736844570543146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9977694.post-69794870968225346992007-11-01T23:07:00.000-05:002007-11-01T23:07:00.000-05:00Eeeck...

Tell him that men are supposed to do all manual labor stuff, and it is the womans job to critique his work. <BR/><BR/>Sheesh, what was I thinking? <BR/><BR/>Well if Stoker should get a gold star you should get a diamond star!Nathan Marxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381069358549596111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9977694.post-1260272862038062132007-10-31T14:18:00.000-05:002007-10-31T14:18:00.000-05:00That's awesome that there were nice hardwood floor...That's awesome that there were nice hardwood floors under all that crap.

So be prepared (and imagine that I sang that just like in the Lion King--it sounds much better that way).cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268356036174285350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9977694.post-75172801198521243322007-10-29T09:38:00.000-05:002007-10-29T09:38:00.000-05:00Hey!

I sanded with the big sander. I scraped glue up for hours and hours. I did the second coat of stain in the big room...c'mon! <BR/><BR/>Are you sure? We thought the black stuff was tar. When we washed our hair that night, it turned sticky. I have read that back then people used tar. But you're probably right, tar might be too stinky to use as a glue for tiles. I'm pretty certain these were the original tiles, from '48. I think it was the kitchen. That's where my money is. <BR/><BR/>We're getting a bed for guests. Not that anyone will visit.....Nicole https://www.blogger.com/profile/02447479916034764638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9977694.post-66041959017200803412007-10-27T22:04:00.000-05:002007-10-27T22:04:00.000-05:00Wow, that work brings back memories.

You guys are doing an awesome job (FYI the black stuff under the tiles is just the adhesive used to stick down the tiles - it goes black as it rots away into nothing). I bet the floors will look awesome! The aged wood looks really great compared to new wood IMHO.<BR/><BR/>Tell Stoker that he deserves a gold star for all his hard work! I don't blame you for getting rid of the knotty pine wanescotting. Can't wait to come visit your place in Tennesse!Nathan Marxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381069358549596111noreply@blogger.com
