If I never see another carpet staple for as long as I live, I’ll be just fine.
The carpet is gone. The hardwood floors are exposed, though not sanded nor treated. The cinder block shelves are up, and stocked. Guess what? We need to build more shelves. Where the hell did all these books come from?
The wall is still the same.
But, damn, was it a good House Project Weekend. :)
