[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 583674, member: 1233"] You have all got such plans! I wish you well on them. I just want my living and dining rooms and kitchens not to look like they are full of trash. Lisa, have you ever refinished hardwood floors? husband and I did them on our first house and won't EVER do that again. For a couple of years we had a spot over a door that had the floor stain on it. It got their when I threw it at the wall because I wanted to shove it down husband's throat. husband had NEVER done a successful home project, much less a home repair project. He regularly shocked himself when changing light bulbs (I don't know how, I changed them in those same lights many times and was NEVER shocked) and he considered changing a bulb in a lamp a home improvement project. I had painted, stained, sanded, rewired, plumbed and done many other jobs like that many times. But husband felt he just HAD to tell me how to sand and stain the floors, over and over even after he had done it his way and spent several hours fixing the mess he made. I kept that stain spot as a reminder to him that on home projects he listens and does as he is told. Period. Our marriage wouldn't survive another floor refinishing. Not. At. All. If anyone is near OK and wants laminate flooring, I have enough to do at least a ten by ten room in our storage unit. My mom bought it for us because she didn't like our carpet. It never got installed because I just wasn't up to it and husband wasn't interested. Just give me a shout if you are interested. [/QUOTE]
