Megan babysitting Claudia AND cleaning out our kitchen cabinets. Now that's friendship!

The living room floors mid sanding. What have we done?

Emily and Grandma Marilyn stripping wallpaper in Emily's closet.

The dining room floors mid sanding. Notice the tiny test strip in the middle. It is there to keep hope alive that this is all worth it.

The living room and another test strip. Neither the sanding monster nor the blinds will be staying.
