RL has been busy...
So, way back in autumn, Darcy asked me what I wanted for my 40th.
I said a new floor (preferably wooden!) for the dining room (as we have lived with The World's Ugliest Carpet ever since we moved in 10+ years ago). He did not like this answer, as that would mean A LOT OF WORK.
I said: fine, forget it.
However, after a while he decided that it was a good idea, and the floor has slowly become reality over the past months. He bought the wood, and tongue & grooved it, and eventually levelled the floor and laid the wood and then sanded it and waxed it. SO MUCH WORK.
But oh, it was worth it. This was what I came home to last Monday (the last image - he took pictures as he finished it):
As he bought enough wood for the front room also, we will at some point get that done also. Ideally we'd also have decorated the dining room, as it sorely needs it - but hey, maybe we'll win the lottery one of these days.
But for now, this has been enough - I have spent all weekend just *cleaning* because there is dust EVERYWHERE. But oh, so worth it. <333
And that's the main reason I've not been around much.
