Good news from Elizabeth Avenue!

Just a quick post to let ye socks know that Alan Fennell stopped by the house this afternoon to do a spot check on the kitchen floor.

Remember, we can't begin renovations until after the estate sale over there on the 23rd and 24th.

But, we were anxious to find out what may lay beneath the linoleum in the kitchen, because it will dictate our budget for tile.

We were hoping the original hardwood floors would be in tact, so that we could forego tiling there to splurge a little on the backsplash.

Well, guess what?

First, we found another layer of linoleum.

But, underneath that was BEAUTIFUL HARDWOOD!

To be sure, they will require a little sanding and refinishing. But, that was already in the budget.

So, look out Jim! (That's the tile guy for those of you not "in the know!") You're going to get nice order for glass and stainless steel tile on Monday!
