Today, I started a LONG overdue construction project…  We are remodeling our laundry room!  I pulled the washer and dryer out in the hall (we will be without them for a few days so I told the kids to be sparing on throwing the clothes down if they are clean) and also pulled everything off the walls.  I then ripped up the vinyl tile pieces on the floor and ripped up the sub-floor.  After ripping up the sub-floor, I had to pull out probably 2000 staples out the floor.  I don’t think I ever want to see another staple again!  😐

We are going to have a friend of ours who is a contractor come in and lay new porcelain tile (no more of this junk vinyl tile for us)!  🙂  We are going to paint the walls and trim, and I am designing a new laundry room with new cabinets and lockers for each of the kids to put their coats, shoes, etc. in.  We hope it turns out great!  We have a LOT of work to do, and my knees are aching right now!
