I finally got going until I came to the first desk. I lifted the legs on one end and propped the desk up with a stick while I pulled out the old glued down carpet and laid a couple of rows under the raised legs. By now it was time to quit for the day. I was less than half finished! If I was paying myself by the hour, I would be broke on one hand and well off on the other!
Tidy desk, eh?

The next day brought rain all day so I could not use the cut-off saw which remained under a tarp. I did a little work but it will be another day (with no rain) before I can call it "done".
The next photo was taken when Brooks and Linda were up laying the floor a couple of weeks ago. I just found the photo on the memory card when I downloaded the last photos. Here is Linda performing her magic on the saw.

You are laying flooring under a desk? Talk about making an already difficult job harder!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean though, I can't afford myself either.
It was the evil of two lessers Don. There are two solid oak desks in that little room and they weigh a ton each. Outside the door is a narrow hallway so the only way for them to come out is on end being dragged on a blanket or something. Add to that the job of hooking up two computers and all the peripherals and this just seemed the easiest way.
ReplyDeleteThought I should rephrase my comment :).
ReplyDeleteRight, don't undo something that is
working well, especially electronics and computers.
Looks good and you'll be done soon. Just watch those splinters.
I will post the picture of my bathroom remodel tomorrow.
Say hi to Norma.
