Year 4, Day 285, “Living the Dream”. Sunday, 2/09/2025. The Wellington – Master bedroom hardwood floor is complete.
Steve has spent a lot of time on his knees the last few days. He does use knee pads and ear canceling muffs. The Flooring Nailer is very hard on your ears.
Hardwood flooring is durable, easy to keep clean and has a really nice classic appearance. But I am just not fond of the hardness and coldness of it in the bedroom. This is the first time we have put hardwood in our bedroom. We have always done comfy soft wall to wall carpeting. We just feel like carpet traps dust and allergens, and stains easily. It is also difficult to clean deeply. Hopefully we will grow to love the hardwood. It’s going to take a little time though. A lot of time was spent cleaning up our furniture. The detail in the wood is intricate. The crevices make it very tedious to clean after it has been sitting in a construction zone. We removed the bed’s canopy top. The bed appeared very big in this master with all that top wood stuff.
This bedroom furniture has been around 21 years and has taken a beating. We are thinking this is it’s final resting place. Ordered some Old English scratch cover from Amazon to try and give the wood a little face lift. I guess it is no different than us. We have taken a little bit of a beating in the last 21 years also. Plenty of creams have been applied to keep our deep dents away. Lol.
Things to ponder today! Have to leave you thinking.
Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://amzn.to/3CRaz53 Maui Jim sunglasses are the best. They are light weight, comfortable, and they block 100% of all harmful UV rays. Ever since I bought mine in 2022, https://deestimes.com/2022/10/10/living-the-dream-year-2-day-164/ I have worn them everyday. They are the best.
