We have spent a good bit of the summer putting new floors in the majority of the house. We did it ourselves with the help of a friend who is a former contractor. Here are a few pictures of the new floors. They are not quite finished, but getting there! Ah, the joy of "do it yourself"...seems to take forever. I'm ready for the house to be back in order and to not have to wrestle Rocky from tromping through wet glue!
We also purchased a 200-gallon aquarium which you can see in the first picture of the floors. It's going to be freshwater, with live plants and discus fish and schools of tetra. It is empty right now because we had to wait until the floors were done, as it will weigh literally over a ton when it is full!! Oh, and yes, I will put another curtain panel on that window!
