moving out.

Our house is empty and we will be saying goodbye to Spring St.....


just for a little while!!!! We are moving back to Theresa Circle (parents house) because we are refinishing the hardwood floors! Kyle convinced me that we should tackle this huge project this weekend, and I might say it was a perfect one to do it. While MI was enjoying another round of snow we were loving the 70 degree sunny days! (although... the snow is probably coming this way next!)
On Friday night we rented a floor sander from Home Depot and emptied the living room and dining room. I was very against the idea of doing the floors now... I didn't want to move out and have a super dusty house to come home to! Needless to say, now that we are this far I am very pleased with how the floors are looking.... definitely worth the 10 hours of sanding, 3 hours of cleaning, and 2 hours of preparing the stairs to get where we are; with the stain on and drying, just waiting for a couple coats of polyurethane!

before the floors were touched... you can see that last time they redid the floors (we thought like 50 yrs. ago) they didn't put polyurethane where their rug was!

after the sanding began! looking better already

the bare floors, came out really well.

just a sneak peak of the floors, saving the full picture till they are done!
