I had another one of those manic, ADD, lack of impulse control moments. I woke up Saturday morning and decided to pull up the living room carpet. Unfortunately H3 failed to stop me and now we are too far in to turn back.

I know it seem crazy to pull up carpeting without any clue what you will replace it with but logical thought is not in my vocabulary when I am in this state of mind.
Amazingly we found 2-inch thick oak floors beneath all that ugly, cheep floor covering. And except for one hide able spot, they are in good condition. Of course they needed a little TLC so I came up with the bright idea to strip and refinish them.

H3 went to DYI and brought up the fact that they mention several times that it's best to hire a professional. He asked me several times if I was sure I knew what I was doing.

Me? Ha! Well we're headed into day three and the floors have finally been stripped and sanded. Today I sent H3 to Lowes at least six times in search of the perfect stain. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
