Uh, oh! We thought the floors would all be the same: ugly but solid. Tom took off the carpet in Ted's old room and it didn't look anything like the floor in our bedroom. There was some cardboard-y thing covering the wood. Some of the wood had been slashed to add electrical lines. Some of the boards were creepily soft and bendable. We're probably going to have to call someone to come and look at it. More delays ...
And there's a big stain that we think must have been from a prior shower problem. The shower is just on the other side of that wall. The soft boards are right near the stain, so, I repeat, uh, oh.
Most of the furniture is moved back into our bedroom, but the smell of the new carpet is still stinky, so we'll abide downstairs a mite longer.
Matt came over and helped Tom move some of the heavier pieces out of Ted's room. Moral of the story: always live near people with strong backs. (And if you have a strong back, don't have neighbors!)
