After more than two years living in our home, this past weekend, we decided we could no longer live with the grungy old carpet covering the floors of four of our rooms. So, we decided to pull it all up (at least 3 of the rooms, that is). The good news is that the hardwood floors in 2 bedrooms upstairs are structurally sound and just need to be sanded and stained. (I say just, but we all know what a big job that will be!) The bad news is that while 2/3 of the floor in the living room is hard wood, the other 1/3 is plywood. We have to decide if we want to try to have the floor restored to its former glory or just re-cover it with carpet. By the way, the floors that I said just need to be sanded and stained... they are spotted with paint. Look at the pictures. The floors are hideous! I hope we don't have to live with these floors for too long.
