BFT – Best Friend Tools.
shoo | July 15th, 2007
Remember when I was working on the floor? Well, while we were in Colorado it didn’t magically finish itself like I had planned. Yes, I should have finished this a long time ago. This weekend GTG and Roommate Steve were both out of town. That left me to 100% of my time being focused on finishing the floor… and eating Double Stuffed Oreos (bad GTG for leaving me with snacks).
The floor is now ready to be sanded. I spent the rest of the weekend pulling carpet staples which are worse than trying to find WMD’s or brushing your teeth and then drinking orange juice. My BFT’s (best friend tools) for the weekend: pliers, hammer, and nail set.
I have (and mean it) to get the floor done this week.
That is an awesome picture!
You’re so handy. I’m impressed.
Ed killed a wasp’s nest today. After I got stung twice in a week, and Josh got stung once. I think that was his first handy act ever. Ha.
Thanks Marie. The awesome part was the 100 staples laying on the floor after it was all finished.
I had to pull up some carpet last year. I highly reccomend getting a Wonderbar for pulling up staples and tack strip. It saved my fingers from having thousands of holes.

soundchick, I used that same pry bar on the tack strips. The carpet pad staples were much smaller and require pliers to pull.
