What a week, a mighty mighty tough week.

I can't even think straight my days are running into each other, so let me break it down.

Saturday March 21st
Got home about 9pm ish after Becca and Lola's Bday Party
Cleaned and mopped the floors about 10 times so we sleep on the air matress.

Sunday March 22nd
Primed all walls and ceilings on both floors

Monday March 23rd
Painted the mail floor ceiling x2

Tuesday March 24th
Trimmed the upstairs ceiling

Wednesday March 25th
Tony painted the upstairs ceiling x2
Christy Trimmed and painted the main floor walls x2

Thursday March 26th
Tony trimmed and painted upstairs hallway walls x2
Christy trimmed and painted the master bedrm walls x2

Friday March 27th
Set up the kitchen and got our sink back finally. Things are starting to get back to normal. (funny that my vision on normal is much different then it would have been a year ago.)
After the kitchen got put back together and I got the coffee ready for the next morning, Tony and I played a little Rummy 500, which of course I kicked his ass in.

Saturday March 28th
Rod Started moving our heating vents around for better circulation on the mail floor. What a difference we noticed even just that evening.
Tony and I tore up the upstairs floor and de-nailed it :(

Sunday March 29th
What's my name.... am I still alive.... have I been hit by a bus?????
I have never been so sore in my life well maybe once when I was playing squash but seriously... I got up to go pee really early in the morning and I was so sore that I didn't even want to temp getting back in bed just to get up in an hour because I was that sore. lol
Thank goodness for Tan who came and saved the day... Tony and Tan tore up the main floor and Tony spent about 4 hours de-nailing it by-himself cause I had to get some work done. What a trooper he was.

Coming up this week....
Delivery of 30 sheet of plywood that Tone and I have to bring in
Put screws in floor to reduce the chance of squeeky floors in the future (Tony's doing that now shhh)
We have a garbage bin being delivered on Thursday which we then have to fill up with all the left over drywall and flooring
Chris is dropping of 50 boxes of flooring this week
And last but not least start laying down our new floors.

......well that is the day and life of Tony and Christy these days.

Stay tuned for our new floor pictures :)
love to you all
xoxo













The next few photos are taken every hour just to give you an idea of how long it took to pull the nails out

My body isn't cut out for general labour. I wish my wife wasn't so busy with work that she can help me!

You guys ROCK! I can't believe how much work you have done already, I honestly get tired just from thinking about all the labour and effort you put into this.
