Day Three is looking great so far! First off, all the previous workers plus one more showed up today! Yeah! We figure that if they have hung around for the last two hard labor days, they will for sure be here for the fun part of laying down the wood!

The carpet is history as we progress closer and closer to the actual wood floors! This is the dining room sans carpet.

As the carpet came out of the den and living room, the mystery of the humps in the carpet revealed itself. A prior tenant, who we will call Muffin, REALLY liked certain parts of those rooms, and rather preferred them to using the outdoors for bladder relief.

We made sure Karly and Mason understand what happens when puppies don't ask to go outside! haha! This is Muffin as we know her today, in one of our beds in the back yard!

The other hump in the floor in the kitchen, (see yesterday's entry) got fixed today and after a little more investigation it was confirmed that a leak from the water heater was to blame. So now the floor is much more level after carving out the swollen subfloor.

So Day Four starts early tomorrow as the wood will have finally acclimated in the house for the required 3 days, and now the fun begins! Our installer is so excited he can hardly stand it! He keeps showing us how he is going to set the stairs, and how he'd like to set off the corners of the living room (log cabin). It is hard to tell who is more excited about this! The dogs and cats are doing well. The cats figure that we apparently lost the other half of the house or have taken on renters because they now have to live in this little 10x12 room. They seem a bit resigned.

Mason and Marnie decided to mend fences and band together in a show of solidarity. There is strength in numbers you know.

Tune in tomorrow. Should be fun and the pics will be far more exciting than old swollen subfloor!
