We had two exceedingly heavy laden days! I'm not kidding. On Thursday morning Warren pulled two thirds of the bedroom carpet out and we started laying down laminate flooring. We quickly found out we aren't as young as we used to be. (We already knew that, but didn't want to admit it). Friday morning, sore and stiff all over, we continued the project. Warren pulled out the rest of the carpet and layed the remaining floor boards while I scraped and sanded the baseboards. After he tacked the boards back down, I caulked them, running out of caulk and going to Home Depot while Warren took all the carpet and pad to the dump. After finishing the caulking we had lunch and ran errands for Riley's birthday while the caulk was drying. When we got home I painted the baseboards and we moved some of the furniture back, got cleaned up and went to Riley's birthday dinner at Ah So. Sorry, no pictures of that because my camera was broken. Inspite of knee pads, Warren has a huge blister on his knee. I won't tell you where I'm most sore.
Thursday morning, ready to start
Thursday night and ready to quit

This picture cost me $135 because I dropped my camera and had to buy a new one :(
