A month ago I got the keys to my first house.

Like all new owners I have a large list of projects in mind (we have them posted on the fridge). The first thing I took on was the floors, in the hopes of being able to entertain the next weekend. Ha! The floors took two weeks. I'll post an article about that experience soon, but the upshot is that I have no respect for Swedish Finish and would never do that to wood. Not only is it deep and hard to remove/refinish, it suspect it's fairly noxious too. I am sure that I would hear the wood pleading to be left in it's natural state

Thanks to the help of my great housemates and friends we did get the floors done and have finished painting most of the walls. There are pictures of the early work in the gallery. More to come as I find time.
