Well after a long week of John working every single day and night due to being on-call, we have finally been able to start working on the living room again today. We started off by ripping up the carpet in the dining room to finally see what would be underneath...

| The floor! |

| The dining room done! |
Overall, the floor doesn't look very bad, which we are thinking we can leave for the time being before sanding and varathaneing. There are a few staples which John had to pull up (and will likely have to as we continue to pull the carpet up), but overall it looks good!
After we worked on the floor, John started fixing the one large crack in the ceiling, in hopes that he can fill it in and then repaint it and it won't be noticeable. Here are a few pictures of him working on it.
Once we did this, and I came back from a chiropractic appointment, we went out to buy a few things for the living room. We went back and forth about buying a new light for the dining room and had decided to wait until later....until we got to the store and started looking at them and then decided on one and bought it! It was the one that I really wanted too! It took us about an hour to put it up when we got home, with only one set back, where we had to take the whole thing apart and place one of the wires in the marrettes that slipped out. Once we got it up, it looked great!

The last thing we did today was start changing the electrical outlits and light switches and face covers. We only got the ones in the dining room done, here is what they look like!
