Wow Janet you are on a roll, i bet your house looks so nice !

It's starting to look nice Haley, but I still have a lot of work to do and I would like to get some new flooring, just not sure what I want yet. I took some ibuprophen and it has helped some. Well, I'd better get back to shampooing.

You go girl, i got alot of cleaning done when i had those 5 days off.. i also shampooed my rugs, it looks and smells so nice... plus bathing the dogs all so helped, Micah actually helped me bath the dogs, oh boy what a mess !!! LOL...

Well done Janet! I'm sure it's shaping up nicely around there.
Painting is hard work and I remember how sore I was just a few weeks ago when I was helping my daughter do hers. It's frustrating 'cause we can still accomplish things, we just have to really push ourselves to do it and then have a longer recuperation time.

HUGS give yourself some rest in between.

I'd rather be helping you paint then do paper work. I'm so behind on paper work that it's not funny. Today looks like another day at the computer.........now if I can just stay off of e-bay and 4WT!!!!

You know, Janet, that we're going to want pictures!!!!

Janet, you mentioned new flooring. We're getting rid of most of our carpet on the first floor of our home. The area around the living room is ceramic tile, so we are going with tile in the living room. We were thinking of laminate in the bedroom, a type by Armstrong that I mentioned to Judy in an earlier thread, then we looked at something else new. Don't go yuck, when I tell you. It's vinyl plank flooring. The flooring store we use has it down in their entry and the walkway to their office. It looks so much like wood that my hubby the custom builder was fooled. It really looks like wood. The pieces of vinyl are in planks with texture and color like wood. They are even contoured on the edges so that when it is laid, it looks like wooden planks. It's less expensive than laminate, more durable and does not have a hollow sound when you walk on it.

Here are a couple of links to some information on it: http://www.associatedcontent.com/art..._of_vinyl.html

Just though you and others might be interested. When I mentioned it to some friends and family they could not believe I was actually considering vinyl in our bedroom. They just don't understand what the product looks like. I think I might still put an area rug under the bed or at least a runner down each side. I'm tired of our pets having accidents on the carpet and having to steam clean so often. Think we will do the tile first in the living area and then decide for sure about the bedroom.

Marilyn, that flooring sounds ideal!
I plan to show Greg the info yu shared as I am in desperate need of new flooring and would love something that's durable but looks like wood.

Thanks for sharing!

Janet you sound like me. I have been doing the same. Moved everything myself, spackled and painted and of course cleaned up as well. I still have some more painting to do but took a short a break due to All-Stars (Baseball). Not sure what kind of flooring you are looking for but I just had lamiates put in. They are wonderful. I opted for this over wood as it hold up well. I have five Yorkies and needed soemthig that would withstand them running all over it with their nails and of course the occassional piddle. LOL.

Marilyn, thanks for posting about this! I really like the looks and what was said about it. It would be perfect for our basement, if we ever to finish it.
