when the going gets tough....

the tough move furniture. it seems to be what i do. i wish i had taken some "before" pictures of the basement, but the house is getting scrubbed from the ground up. first, as the old washer had died, i scubbed the basement floor while andy and tom went to get my "new" washer. what a mess that was, but the scrubbing made such a difference. i'm excited to see the clean floor then we had to move the book shelves to make way for the new plumbing. altho, of course, we didn't need to as that pipe was not replaced. it still gave me a good excuse to scrup and bleach that floor. little by little the change is amazing. this week i started in the area between the furnace and the outside wall, so we could move becca's storage area and make room for her. i got everything off the black carpet, an area about 8 x 12, and we cleaned that up. bins of toys have been sorted and the bins are ready to go upstairs today we emptied the rest of the "cement" area, so that we can re lay the carpet and make a bedroom and tv room down there, plus some book and dvd storage. i am really hoping to be able to move my ebay storage back downstairs and create a play room for the kids on the first floor. right now i feel as if every peice of furniture in my house is going to be moved, if not from one side of the room to the other, then from one floor to another. the only thing that is constant is change
