Welcoome to SMHRB, where the Dailykos community comes to share about their various construction projects.
I don't know what happened to Claude this morning, it's 6:30 AM as I write this and there's no SMHRB Diary.
SO I guess its up to me to throw something up here.
I had a real project this week. We stripped the God knows how old carpet out of the living room and put down laminated flooring, redid the baseboard. I'll be putting pictures of this up as the day goes on.
The carpet was hella nasty, a dog toilet for decades. It was a sick orange plush and it was just time to go. We considered recarpeting but it's easier and cheaper to put down laminated.
Or so we thought. You always want to get the kind that snaps together, not glues together, which is a big mess. The problem is our living room floor has a big wowie in it, a droop, that made it hard to get the pieces together. I tried to flatten it out but it only made it worse, so I went back to zero.
I finally got it down, tho it took me two days. Ripped down the baseboard myself, stained it.
I have pictures of this and I'm now going looking for my camera, which is somewhere. I wassn't ready for this.
So while I'm looking for my camera to post the pictures, why don't you aall talk and share about whatever projects you have going
