Goodbye Orange Shag Rug

Halfway through our week, halfway through the garbage bin.


To keep the hardwood, or to install new...that is the question...comments please...






Day 5 was purely plaster removal, messy, messy stuff.

So was the hardwood a surprise then when you ripped up the carpet?

We knew there was hardwood underneath, and we knew it was going to be in decent condition in the living room and dining room. That orange shag has been covering it for at least 25 years. The hardwood in the bedrooms is a little worn.

Keep the hardwood - just re-finish it. At least then you're keeping SOMETHING of the original house.

Keep it and refinish it Nei! More environmental and save some money!
