A work in progress

The floors are sanded and look really nice. Now, we just need to thoroughly wipe down every square inch of wall, floor, ceiling, radiator, molding etc... as there is a super fine layer of dust over everything in the place now. Also the ugly fake brick thing in the last video series is now removed and in the back bedroom in pieces. What we discovered behind it is quite interesting. We found a bricked up old fireplace and an Edinburgh press and lots of holes in the plastering. So we have lots to do in this room still! Yikes. But the good news is that the wall paper is coming off fairly easily. So lets hope that it stays that way. Anyhow, here's a peak at the new floors and our mess of a wall. Also there's a clip of our garden. I just ordered my compost bin and it should arrive in the next few weeks! I can't wait to take out the row of plants between our plot and our neighbors (don't worry we'll salvage the azalea and other nice plants) and put a row of super fertile compost in there to grow some veggies. I'm already envisioning a lovely wall of peas and squash on a trellis. But that will be next spring.
