I Want Ice In My Tea
Is that too much to ask?
Today was day three of living without a kitchen or dining room. The surprise work that started suddenly is proceeding in our kitchen, and as of tonight, all of the kitchen and a bit of the dining room are sporting the gorgeous brand new floor.
I almost stopped everything when they tore the 50’s era linoleum off the dining room floor and found — beautiful hardwood that only needs refinishing. But that would have changed the job, and the company doing the work for me does not refinish hardwood.
With a big sigh, I decided to go ahead and cover it with the new waterproof vinyl tile, as long as no adhesive is used. (It locks together somehow). Me, or more likely, whoever owns this house next, can easily have the vinyl floor covering removed and hire someone who refinishes hardwood. I doubt that will happen in my lifetime.
The vinyl is easy to care for and very beautiful on the floors of those two rooms, so it’s not going to be in my plans to refinish the hardwood. I’m glad to know it’s under there — safe and pretty much just as it was 97 or so years ago.
The more work I have done on this ole house, the more I discover what a good old house it really is.
But, boy, am I tired of having workers inside and listening to equipment all day. Now it’s…
