Look out Bob Villa...

Now that the exterior of our house is nearly painted we are about to tackle some interior projects. One of the first is new flooring for our kitchen. So yesterday in the afternoon I tried peeling up a corner of the current linoleum to get a sense of how much work it was going to take to remove. I discovered two things. First, it wasn't too bad. Second, Sam was fascinated with the process. He immediately asked if he could try it, so I let him. The he wanted a scrapper of his own which I provided. The next thing we knew he had pulled up several 'tiles' and didn't want to stop. Even after he got into his pajamas he wanted to scrape some more. We finally got him to go to bed but the first thing this morning he was back in the kitchen. Before I could even get out of bed and turn on the light, he was back at work with his scraper. He's probably responsible for about a third of the progress we've made so far. (photos to come)

Looking forward to the photos! Lots of work but very satisfying!!
 
How wonderful to find the 'underfloor' in the kitchen wasn't too bad! And how great to have a willing helper!! Guess we'll have to line up some homeowner chores in Durango! (Smile)
