Those of you who have listened to the most recent episode of The MoeGamer Podcast will know that chez MoeGamer has been undergoing some renovations recently. My wife Andie, dissatisfied with the (admittedly horrible) carpet in our hallway and the (not actually that bad) wallpaper she put up in the same hallway decided to completely obliterate… well, almost everything. She bought an angle grinder and everything. I don't really know what that is aside from the fact it looks and sounds terrifying.
Anyway, it started off like this:
She wanted to see if there was a banister underneath the dividing wall in our hallway. There wasn't. But then there was a big hole in the wall, so of course she had to remove it entirely. (Emphasis on "she" — I've been staying well out of the way, as I am a total liability with anything vaguely DIY-related.)
Patti did not know what to make of all this nonsense going on. She seems to like having the "hole" to look through, though.
Then the carpet came up and the sanding started. Sanding is noisy. Very noisy. I had the door shut and it still gave me a headache. Patti hid under the bed while this was going on. Meg didn't give a shit.
And finally, today it was all finished! Well, the stairs, anyway. We're going to run a "runner" carpet down the middle to cover up that different-coloured bit (it looks like that's what used to be there, anyway) and Andie's going to paint the walls to replace the wallpaper (that she chose) that she's decided she hated.
It'll look really nice when it's done, so thumbs up for all her hard work — I know I certainly couldn't do all that without going absolutely insane. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product!
