Current project: Kitchen Floor
To start, we had to rip out the cabinets in the laundry room. Zach cam over to help Dane.
Thanks Zach!!
mmm. Nice. . . floor!
Sick! this is the linoleum under the sub floor. So this is the second layer of linoleum. If you can spot the red, that would be the third layer of linoleum.
Dane. Frustrated. the people who did the floor were glue and nail happy. every few inches there is a nail, and the glue is over 50 years old, so of course it's rotten, but not enough to just crumble. It is HORRIBLE!
So, instead of doing a nice wood trim, they GLUED on tile as base boards. Gross!! i took a flat head and a hammer, and got these all off in a matter of minutes. It ripped off the wall however, so we'll need to fix that before we put on real based boards.
This is the spot where the dishwasher and fridge sit. You can tell, it's a super old house.
Dane got up the entire first 2 layers in the laundry room last night. Now for the bottom layers. . .
the last layer of linoleum, or the original floor. This is glued down with some black tar glue. SOo hard to get up off the wood subfloor.
Since we've started, we have had to once again live out of our front room. Our appliances won't be able to move back in until we finish the tile. Such a joy!!
