One of the things we did to the house this year was put in a new floor! The previous owners had rented the house out to college kids and by the time we got our hands on it, it was in pretty bad shape, especially the carpet! You could just tell this was a party house. I shampooed like 5 times before we moved in but it just wasn't cutting it! So we ripped up all the carpet and put down laminate hard wood, which was what was in our budget! It started off fun, the whole family was involved in ripping up staples and putting down new boards! But by the third day of working nonstop, with swollen hands and bruised knees, I was so ready for it to be done!! One of the funny parts though was that on one of the boards we each wrote our names on it and something completely stupid, thinking it would be cool that when a new owner went to rip up the boards would find our names and silly phrases!!
