Floor

So today we are ripping out the floor in the kitchen to lay tile.  

I will post pics later.

the people who lived her before had added an extension to the house and it somehow got a hole at the seam.  so the linoleum had a hole in it too.

anyway apparently you cant just rip up linoleum.  go figure.

half of the linoleum stays on the floor, the top half comes off.. but not the bottom half.

anyway... scotts dad said a steam wallpaper remover is the way to get that stuff off.  steam and scrape.  scott went to get the steamer.. i will let yall know how it goes.

i have been trying to decide if i want to steam the wallpaper off that is in the kitchen too (since we will have the steamer).  my problem is.. this is scott's dad's rent house.  the real estate market is prime for buying right now and we have no desire to own this house so we wont be staying here.  do i really want to do all the work of removing the wallpaper and then texturing and painting the wall if we wont even be here next year?  no of course not... but then again... i love before and afters.  tile on the floor, a nice tile backsplash, a nice taupe colored paint on the walls... it would be pretty.

again though... i told scott i wanted to buy by Jan/Feb... so is it worth the work to enjoy it for only 6 months?

hmmm
