It features original salvage/upcycling of Olympia beer cans to patch holes in the fir subfloor. Whooo hooo. So glad we got to keep them for owners to find in the next 100 years. (Or not, those floors should be good for that long at least!)

Can you count five different floor 'generations' here?

You Might Be Renovating If... (3)

The front entry is almost done (!) and will be posted soon. In the meantime, here are a few more signs that might indicate that you too are in the midst of a renovation.

This reno runs on wine (and whiskey)


• If you buy dust masks, sand paper, masking tape, and wine in bulk. 

• If you dog has cost you more in doggie day care fees than you have spend on the materials that have necessitated such an arrangement.

• If you have multiple interesting bruises from unknown origin, and have slapped yourself in the face no less than 4 times by dust mask elastics breaking.

• If you've been working on house projects so long that you're re-sanding/re-staining/re-painting a room that you've already done this to in the past 3 years.

• If you're happy that your friends will paint/clean/move furniture or otherwise work for booze.
