As usual I am quite far behind with my posts..............but during the school break in March, Munchie came for a visit. But...before I get to that.....what........
....... is Poppa doing now????
Well you see.... there used to be a door into the 2nd floor bathroom from the master bedroom....and as you can see the main door was less than two feet away! This didn't really make much sense to us.... so Poppa took it out, added new drywall (see first picture) and filled in the opening.....
...... here it is all ready for paint! Now about Munchie's visit!
Oh! What are these two up to?? Remember the previous picture of our stairs?
If you look closely at this picture you will notice that all the carpet has been taken off! Poppa took all the carpet off and then all the underlay had to come off - which required the removal of about 24 staples from each step! This was a large job which required a lot of bending and kneeling. So, Poppa enlisted our little Munchie to help - he was more than eager to do that, so.....
..... after a quick demonstration and some practice under supervision.........
......... he was left with his screwdriver and a pair of pliers and ...............
...while he started at the bottom, Poppa started at the top! it didn't seem very long....
...and they met in the middle - what next for the stairs??
I don't know yet - because my boys stopped to have some fun! I'm not even sure what they are doing - but it looks a lot like wrestling or boxing or some other "guy thing".
Me? Well - you'll never guess - I knitted another pair of socks. These are called Lacy Legs because the purl stitches of the rib are worked in an eyelet pattern - which is almost impossible to see in this picture!
