today i started pulling up my flooring in the living room and hall. what was down was a tile flooring but under that was a carpet. i thought it would have normal underlaying but nope a carpet
ripped it all up. tried cleaning up the skirting. still got some nails to rip out and i will take this opportunity to repaint the walls and skirting. still have to rip up the flooring in the kitchen and storage room. i'm dreading the thought of doing the kitchen. some of the flooring is sealed down and i don't know how i'm going to get it out from under the work units. also i need to pull out my cooker, washing machine, and fridge freezer.
when i was pulling up the flooring i almost cut through my internet cable. for some stupid reason i thought the cable went out into the garden but it was routed along the skirting under the flooring and goes out into the front garden. thankfully my internet is still working. i totally wrecked my door "threshold cover" which is where my internet cable was. it's stuck to the cover so i need to get it off to replace the cover. i hope the guys who are coming to put down the new flooring can do a good job with it but we'll see. they won't be here for another 3 weeks so i have lots of time to get all the work done.
i'm exhausted. felt dirty and smelly so went for a shower so now i'm relaxing with a few beers
