More snow today. Yes. More. Maybe as much as a foot.
Because, you know, we've been light on the white stuff.
Anyway, we are having our floors (not woods!) refinished today. Or at least sanded and given one coat. I'll update throughout the day and probably run this on post as a floors/snow update.
9 a.m UPDATE Well, that didn't take long. I'm heading into the final 30 pages of The Unnamed. Great read. What started out as an oddity is getting very sad. I guess that is what happens when you connect to characters. Anyway, probably be done by the weekend.
9:30 a.m. UPDATE Yes, its still snowing. 6-12 inches predicted. My flooring contractor told me he heard 14 possible.* Everything old is new again.
11 a.m. UPDATE The sanding of the pine floors has the entire house smelling of pine. Wonderful. Not.
Noon UPDATE Still snowing. Floors are sanded. First coat is on them. Floor guy is gone for now.
3 p.m. UPDATE Floors look nice. Still snowing. I think I'm high from all the fumes.
* Ok ok. I'll say it. My wood guy told me he heard it would be 14 inches. There; happy?

Well, this promises to be a lot more snow
First 28.5 inches Friday/Saturday.
Now another 12-18 Tuesday/Wednesday.
I might have to post (Sim)some pictures, no matter how Click Cliche it is. Do ya get it? No? I'm not surprised. Its an outdated reference and I'm a pretty big stupid cheese ball.
Actually, the snow has come at a fine time. Well, Saturday's snow, anyway.
If you knew what the back half of our house looked like, you probably don't recognize it now, and you really won't in another month or so. Shhhhh! It's a secret....
... Ok, ok, enough with the 10-penny nail-tennis-ball-black-board machine sound already. We ripped out the carpet in the back room, which sorely needed it.
Good news: We discovered largely relatively good condition hard woods.
Bad news: And one area of pretty poor condition, shoddily fixed hardwoods.
Good news: We are removing the floor in the kitchen/foyer to make way for tile
Better news: The tile can extend over the poor condition hardwoods!
So that's where we are. Wood revealed. Linoleum coming up. Tile going down (March 15). Walls in the back room getting a coat of paint.
