After 2 weeks of slowly cleaning, sorting, and packing 3 rooms, we had 2 friends from church come and help us move furniture Saturday morning. And by the time it was done, I was reminded of why we're doing this. I spent Sunday afternoon packing and emptying the closet floors.
This morning we had to deal with a personal issue, and in the meantime we chose the stain colors and have evacuated until we return briefly to tend to animals and such.
We were amazed at how much everything echoed in the house. And when they started running the sander...let's just say it was amplified. It's been an ordeal that is far from over, but so far I'm glad we've at least started the process!

| Discoloration from my last stain in the study. |

| You can see where a certain set of wheels has traveled quite a bit the last 19 years. |

| They'll be replacing at least 2 boards in the bedroom. About 16 years ago I goofed when treating the batteries to Bobby's chair and we had an acid spill about the size of a quarter. A few years later someone wanted to be helpful while Bobby was in the hospital and had our house cleaned without consulting us. They mopped the spot, and in the process spread the acid, burning 4 boards. Thankfully this was the worst. |

| And they're replacing the "lip" going in and out of the kitchen to something that is flatter and should make it easier for Bobby to enter and exit. Hooray! |
 |
| And the wear and tear on our bedroom floor. |

| After 15 minutes of sanding...they had 2 rooms almost totally sanded when they stopped for lunch. |
