Promise Acre: Our Journey

[Baymule]

Progress! I like the wood floor! Are you going to sand and refinish?

And pulled up a bunch of linoleum.

Looks like the wood floor is in pretty good shape. Waiting for the answer to Bay's question. I know what my answer would be if they are in good shape.

I would like to. Though several rooms needs quite a bit of work. So they may be replaced. These are bedrooms and probably will do carpet in most of them.

 

[Bruce]

We don't do carpet anywhere. All it does is hold dirt and allergens.

Downstairs has beautiful wood around the room edges then just filler under big nasty carpets... so lots of decisions... I just am excited to do some demo work.

 

[Baymule]

I have enough dirt on my wood floors. I can only imagine what carpet would be like!

 

[Bruce]

It's easy! Get a reasonably small area rug, put it on the floor, walk on it like normal for a month or two. Then vacuum it until it is "clean". Then take it outside, beat it and watch all the dirt fly out.

I have wipe your feet rugs at the front and back doors...….I take them outside and beat them. There are several mats on the porch too. They are packed in sand in no time.

Are you keeping some 'before and after' pictures? We were really glad that we had when we had visitors to shoe them how bad our place was when we started.
