Wood floors are the best!

The floors are pretty much done in the Southern Comfort Room.

It was a challenge to get that much paint off the floor and the stain and top coat went on really nicely. I did have to strip down to shorts and a t-shirt to keep dust from falling off my clothing on to the floor.

At one point we realized that the oils in my feet were picking up particles and dropping them on to the still very soft floors. We had to get a solution put together quickly to protect the second coat while I was applying the third coat. Turns out Duct Tape is remarkably versatile…

We've mostly finished the wall between the bedroom and the washroom – we're still waiting for the faucet for the shower to finish, but the door is in place and the wet-wall has fresh water in it now. We should be getting the faucet in the mail today or Monday (thanks to our friends at Plympton Plumbing!)

We're also hoping to receive the shower in the mail shortly. That'll be a big job but it should also be the last job.

The bed arrives sometime next week and we're putting the finishing touches on the paint and trim. Whew. We're really, really, really close now! Whohoo!

The plan is to soft-launch the room while we clean up all the rest of the details and hopefully we'll have a website shortly and then we'll start accepting reservations for the friends that we haven't met yet. That'll be exciting!

We have a real mess to clean up in the Good Living Room, but that should be just more drywall, tape, mud and paint. We're getting pretty good at that now…

We know that after all the effort that we've put into making it comfortable here that every night that you spend with us is Bound To Please!
