Day 29: In celebration of the first decent rain I've seen since moving to Boise I rented a floor sander and took care of some business. Here's the second bedroom before I let loose the Dominator on it.



And here it is after about five minutes of punishment. I alleviated a lot of anxiety by seeing how straight forward this sanding business is going to be.

I also dominated the crappy kitchen floor with the sander...it didn't get rid of all of the junk on the floor, but it did smooth it all out (only after the vacuum on the sander went out and threw nasty dust everywhere for 20 minutes...Cletus at the rental place thought I needed to empty the bag...turns out the frickin' belt was broken - way to go Cletus).

So then I decided to finish it properly and not skip bits so I went to Lowe's and got some flooring (total cost: $86 and that included two tubes of construction adhesive - just in case) and spent most of the evening puttin' it down. The kitchen is now officially the cleanest room in the house, which isn't really saying much.
