Old Home Project- New Floors

So by now the floor is done but it took over a month! Seriously. This is what happens when there are shortages and "who knows what else is going on." Also, some hardwood was damaged and I had to wait for additional boxes. 

Old floor was all cracked and had holes in it, so sadly it had to go... The fireplace is fixed- old one was leaking smoke to the room as the chimney was not working properly. 

As we took the tiles out, there was... some hardwood beneath! Not expected! It had to be removed as well. Since there were all those mysterious layers there, I hoped that maybe I could find a secret safe with money hidden by other owners but no such luck. 

 

Some of the boxes with hardwood, there were 52 of them in total. 

It was difficult to live with no stove or fridge being in the middle of the living room, and then stove in the middle of the living room, but hey, the trauma is over. Actually, if I had a stove in my living room, I could cook while sitting on the couch... Tempting!

Kitchen is taking shape:

It will take time to finish the whole project, but it's okay. One day at a time. As long as roof is not leaking and no one is cold or hungry, let it progress at its own pace. :)
