September 15

Today we set out for a long weekend of work. Sigo began by pulling up the rugs on the first and second floor.  We were happy to discover beautiful floors in the living room and dining room. The living room floor is in exceptional condition, save for a long strip of carpet glue that ran from wall to wall.  The dining room floor is covered in paint and also has a band of carpet glue, but is generally in good condition.  Upstairs the floors are a simple pine. They are painted a muddy brown and need some repair, so after we fix them we will apply a fresh coat of paint.  Perhaps we will include a simple design.

Sigo has been taking all of the hardware off the cabinetry and removed some unnecessary cabinets in the desk area from the kitchen this gives a lot more space as you enter the room.  The walls behind the desk require a lot of repair, which Sigo will address after the first coat of primer. He also removed the paneling covering the brick chimney.  We’ll need to look into a junk removal service as the backyard pile is growing rapidly!!
