This weekend has been very busy!! We ripped up the carpet, pretty easy; then we moved on to the kitchen vinyl flooring. The sheet of vinyl came up ok with a lot of tugging and Jason heating it with his heat gun. The problems began with what was under the vinyl, an extra layer of plywood underlayment which the builder thought needed to be stapled down with at least 2,000 staples (I'm not exaggerating)!! So after we fought the staples and got the plywood up I had to go back and take a sharp hook tool that looks like Jess would use in surgery and get all the little pieces of plywood that was stuck under all those staples. After all that we got to take some frustration out on those staples by hammering them back down with the sledge hammer!! We quickly swept up the dust and Jason started on the tar underlayment for the wood floors which he added another 2,000 staples to our floor! It was a new tool which he had way too much fun with, now I know why there were so many staples in the plywood (cause a man put it in with his little staple hammer)!
And somehow in between all that work Jason worked Saturday and Sunday!! He needs some sleep and food!!
love ya all!!

That is funny. Loved the dog pictures. And it sooo true about men and their tools!!! I had a million to pull up also on my floor. I guess they thought people would be running foot races in the house! Love you guys---looking good!!
