The floor is coming up and going down!
We put part of our wood floor down in the upstairs of the house.......only to find out that it creaked really bad the next day. My husband....the perfectionist.....was just sick over it!
After many phone calls and pacing he decided that we would need to pull it up....glue it and use longer nails.....then put it back down. UUUGGHHH! Have you ever pulled up wood flooring? It can be u-g-l-y!
Well, my daughter, Zoe, and I along with Jordan and his friend set up an assembly line. My husband was pulling up the floor, handing it to us. I was pounding out the nails, my daughter was yanking them out from their pounded out position, and Jordan and Sergei were sanding and stacking.
It was quite the team effort. I only hit the ceiling once with a board.....:( oops!
It took us about 6 hours. Well, we laid the rest down the next day and guess what? It STILL CREAKED!!! AAAAGGHHH!!!!
My husband decided to sand it to see if that would make a difference. It did! They stopped creaking! Go figure!
Now for the other 2000 sq. ft!
Anyone want to come and help? |

Going to live in Florida, wow, that sounds like an amazing way to spend a winter! Will your house go on a stand still while your gone?
Your Messianic Fellowship sounds very interesting. I hope you will post about it in the months to come. Is there a website that tells about it? I'm fascinated!
