This weekend the second bedroom/office got a serious makeover. Yesterday Zach and I painted three of the walls a super pale yellow color to brighten up the dingy brown. Then today, his Dad succeeded in pulling up the green carpet from the room. After we pulled it up we could see HUGE stains of various shades of yellow...and the room smelled like cat urine. You can put the pieces together. It was pretty disgusting.
There was some awesome retro flooring underneath, which we also took out. Then the floor had a heavy sweeping and spraying of various cleaning agents. From the pictures you can see some of the progress in the room--including windows.

Here is a before picture. Yes, Zach randomly does push-ups. I have seen him do them at the library, stores, and a number of other places.
Notice the stains on the carpet's underside, as wellas the retro linoleum (far right)
We're still not done--but it looks a TON better :)
And window cleaning. Before and after...
Another tid-bit of exciting news. I saw the mailman! (and I creepily snuck a photo) Zach and I have been wondering for awhile.
The yellow looks familar :-)...the postman looks like Randy Curless..."retro" linoleum...people my age would just say it's old...
