Guess what was hiding under the carpet? TILE. Because obviously this house believes in layers of surprises. Wallpaper under paneling wasn’t enough—no no, let’s add flooring surprises too.
What was supposed to be a quick “rip it up and toss it into the dumpster” turned into hours of quality bonding time with dust, debris, and questionable home renovation choices. But hey… nothing says progress like staring at bare plywood. Light at the end of the tunnel, right? 😅
And the backyard shed? Yeah… about that. Upon closer inspection, it was a hopeless case. So now it’s a full teardown. Demolition continues because apparently we (well Mark anyway) don’t believe in free time anymore.
Of course, Kim couldn’t let a demolition moment go undocumented—she showed up ready for action in her iconic pink hardhat, beautifully decorated by the grandbabies. Honestly, if your grandma doesn’t have a custom hardhat, what is she even doing?
Stay tuned for a BIG week as this hot mess slowly transforms into a “beautifully blossoming home.” New roof incoming, fresh paint on those finally smooth (miraculously smooth!) walls, and goodbye forever to the tragic wall textures and archaeological dig of wallpaper and paneling. We will not miss you. Not even a little.
Thanks for following along on this adventure—we promise there’s plenty more chaos… uh, progress… coming soon.
You can just hear some DIYer saying “just throw some carpet over that tile and let someone else worry about it”.
