This Old House
First of all, I have to recognize my handy husband Tom for all his work on installing our new flooring. Our motivation for doing projects is usually non-existent, so this is quite an undertaking for us. This weekend, our goal is to work on the hallway. As you can see, the prep work is complete in this photo. Another words, the easy part. Tom has measured and cut all the door frames to slide the flooring underneath and now the planks need to be added. Thomas is doing 95% of the work, so I need to acknowledge his hard work, which we will all hear about for years to come (from him). Anyway, the other 5% percent of the work is shared among Ian and me. We decided to attempt this task without calling in the reserves to watch the boys. Connor didn't feel that our attention should be divided between him and some project. He kept his naps to one hour or less, so our worktime was compromised at times. Then, there is Ian, the master apprentice. 
Daddy always find something fun for him to do. Today, he got to watch Dad chip out a broken tile and assist with the sweep up. Ian felt he could have been more useful if he were allowed to try out some of more interesting tools. So, hopefully, provided our runny noses quit and our energy reserves don't crash, we can finish up the hallway this weekend. (minus the mouldings, we haven't done those in any rooms yet) Coming to a blog near you....Ian Unplugged and "El Padrino"....if you're curious, keep checking back!
