Day two of our working weekend consisted of ripping up carpet…

.

.

Which was the easy part…

.

.

Until my husband hit the closet.

.

.

The padding was a bit harder to get up…

.

.

And it left all those nasty little sharp staples which needed to be pulled by hand.

.

.

The spots?

.

.

That would be blood.

Home renovations are dangerous dontcha know.

.

.

Next was the old baseboard trim, parts of which were damaged and all of which was beat up enough for us to decide we wanted new.

.

.

His Lordship?

.

.

Back in the bedroom sleeping with 3 mice on his scratchy post.

.

.

The day ended with a much needed second coat of ceiling paint and two seriously aching homeowners.
