The living room floor is almost finished and we are turning the corner…
.
.
Trying to save some money and move things along, my husband is staying ahead of the contractor with brute force prep work.
.
.
Ripping out the old carpet…
.
.
As the contractor makes his way into the hall.
.
.
This particular area is two hallways.
.
.
One short.
.
.
One long.
.
.
Both covered in nail ridden carpet strips and those nasty little sharp padding staples.
.
.
When that was done my husband started removing trim…
.
.
Which I really didn’t want him to do.
My guy is great with the rough stuff, but when it comes to careful finish work?
.
.
Not so much. He broke off 4 small pieces and split the trim in 3 spots.
.
.
This is the trim I’m trying to salvage of course. We’re putting all new in the living room but it’s priced by the foot and gets costly quickly.
.
.
My repair skills only go so far.

Well, he’s trying to help, in his own way. I think he’d rather be doing that kind of work than what he was doing when he left retirement and then came back into retirement, lol.

Progress is good. It takes so long for anything to be finished, of course.

We started with the driveway last June… I fully expected to be done by now.
Silly me.

Poor hubsy. All work — no appreciation! Good for you!

Now I understand why he retired again. His new full-time job is assisting all your contractors with work around Casa River!

Have you ever considered the idea that he might be sabotaging your home just to give him something to do?

I hope not. We really don’t need any more projects…
