Welcome back!!!

Long time no talk! I know... It's my fault. I'm a horrible friend that allowed my crazy life/kids get in the way of our beautiful yet new relationship. I hang my head in shame... Really... I do. :,( 

Nonetheless lets gets on with it. Wipe your tears, put your big girl panties on and grab your coffee! 

So, my dumbass decided to start the renovation on the kitchen. Tire up the vinyl tile only to find that whatever prior dumbass that laid it used an adhesive that never solidified. *smack forehead here* 

I was planning on taking up the tile and staining the subfloor a cool way... Epic fail! Because my kitchen is now a 20x12 fly trap. What I though was going to be a 20$ one day overhaul... Thanks to Pinterest (whom lies frequently). 

But, after a few rants, throwing of tools, and exasperated methods of removing the goo... I decided... Plywood planks! 

We will be able to completely redo our floors for under 80$ and I couldn't be happier! It's takes care of the odd gaps between the floor and the trim (old buildings settle) and... I get new pretty yet old looking floors for way under the cost of laminate, vinyl or heaven forbid hard wood flooring! Yay me! *Insert happy dance here* 

This is the old seventies emerald green crap I pulled up... Which is a lot harder than I thought it would be. (Thank God I'm built like an amazon)

This is the stupid sticky crap that has, I kid you not, taken a flip flop, rocks and even Lil Bit hostage... 

So there is the before and this weekend I will post the after!

BTW... Once again, sorry about the long pause in my blogging. I sincerely promise it will not happen again! 

Thanks for stopping by and I will keep the coffee warm for ya!
