Up Jumps the Linoleum

Well, we had a good home improvement day yesterday (home destruction?), with time spent on the upstairs project and in the garden. Maybe it was watching the defenese of Helm's Deep in the Two Towers LOR film on Saturday, while coming down off a wicked, sticky bun induced sugar high that inspired me, but on Sunday I spent a couple of happy hours building wicker and bamboo battlements in order to keep marauding dogs, children, etc. out of my peas and onions.

Here is a photo of the quaint capitol H that someone was good enough to burn into the upstairs carpet before we moved in. I think they also attempted an L in another corner but didn't get all the way through. Hopefully their lighter overheated and blew up.


Compared to the stuff we took up downstairs, the upstairs linoleum came up relatively easily.



The fir flooring is very soft and easy to gouge but in pretty good shape, all things considered.




The photo may not show it well, but there is quite a bit of glue and some remaining tar to be sanded off the floor still. Yippie!
