Many of you might know that we are putting hardwood floors in the first floor of our home. This is a job that I have been wanting to do since buying the house three years ago. If you do not know already, our house was built in 1935 or sometime around then. So it is really really old. A lot of the parts of the home are the originals.
I am so excited that in a few weeks we will have a completed project and nice new hardwood floors. This will require a great deal of sweat equity. Thanks to lots of friends (especially Brian and Vanora) we hopefully will be able to do this without having to pay a contractor. However, today we encountered a huge problem with a sinking floor that will have to be fixed before we move forward on the floors. Above are some pics in case you want to follow our progress. The first is the picture of the joist taken when Justin crawled under the house into the tiny little crawl space to survey the damage. Hmmmm. This should be fun. As my mother-in-law often says, we are making memories.
