just makin’ it up as we go…

This Stinks

February27

We hadn’t planned on doing anything to our unfinished basement for a few years. However, we discovered that concrete is very dusty and when we let the dogs downstairs to play they were tracking everything upstairs causing a terrible mess. So…we decided that we would stain the floor. They would have started weeks ago, but were waiting on a week of 40+ degree weather. It’s a week-long process and Friday was the first day of the sealer. When I came home on my lunch break I could hardly breath because of the fumes. It completely filled the house and we had to pack up everything and leave. This is terrible timing, but it’s too late to stop now.

At least it’s looking good so far

Hopefully we can air the house out and not have to wash everything we own!

    The floor looks great! Hope those fumes are gone very soon so you can be back in the house and all settled before that sweet boy gets there!
