It ends up being worth it in the end, but oh god, it's tough to endure.<BR/><BR/>But you're just doing your living room floor right? 4 weeks is a pretty long time to wait, so if I were you, I'd sweep up the floor and just move most things back into the living room, so I could live much more comfortably for a few weeks, then just move it all back out the day before the floor guys come.<BR/><BR/>Sure it's extra moving, but two adults can handle some room-to-room moving... especially to live in relative comfort for a month. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963432418989382127.post-58086582915740640002008-09-29T11:39:00.000-04:002008-09-29T11:39:00.000-04:00If I were you, I'd stand in that dining room as mu...If I were you, I'd stand in that dining room as much as possible or sit on a throw pillow just to keep your sanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963432418989382127.post-57570081602594278542008-09-25T09:01:00.000-04:002008-09-25T09:01:00.000-04:00I just hired a crew to come next week and lay carp...I just hired a crew to come next week and lay carpet in 4 bedrooms, an office, a hall and stairway. They said ALL I have to do is remove everything from the floor in the closets and everything from the tops of the furniture- oh, and strip the beds of all linens.- Just stack it all in the bathtub they said.

Trust me we have hired someone to do all of the stuff that requires any skills.<BR/><BR/>Chris - Maybe you can rent one of those Pods thingys to store your stuff - or just get a couple of rooms done at a time. Our job is 4 rooms and they say it'll take 4 days to complete. We did all the demo ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Zibbs - that floor is everything I'm hoping and dreaming for in the rest of the house.<BR/><BR/>Michelle - I think it'll all turn out OK - but it's hard to keep living like this...<BR/><BR/>CDP - it's not like my house is normally all that clean and tidy - but this is ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Linka - you have excellent taste my dear - my best friend Amy gave me that vase for my birthday a few years ago.<BR/><BR/>Renwoman - I know you are the last person I could bitch too since you just lived without an entire bathroom earlier this summer.<BR/><BR/>Churlita - this is a self imposed disaster area - thank god. Why would someone walk on your bedding? Weird.<BR/><BR/>Chris - I would imagine we are the last people you would want to do work on your house. Although I might be swayed to help do some demo work in exchange for one of your beautiful a hand carved fishies.The Lady Who Doesn't Lunch:https://www.blogger.com/profile/16435708079953998705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963432418989382127.post-54440922481440740862008-09-24T14:15:00.000-04:002008-09-24T14:15:00.000-04:00When you're done, could you travel up north and do...When you're done, could you travel up north and do our floors?

We have a tiny, tiny little house in a bad, bad neighborhood, so to do the floors we'd have to move things outside and hire a goon to stand over them while the floors were being redone... Thankfully hired goons are cheap hereabouts.Chris the Hippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434819898396611160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963432418989382127.post-4961444414525222242008-09-23T23:37:00.000-04:002008-09-23T23:37:00.000-04:00Oooooooooh what fun!
