This makes me grin...

 yes holes in my carpet have me grinning and doing a happy dance tonight. who knew? do you see that? that is a hardwood floor...amazing!!! This house is over 100 years old, it was moved to this present location over 30 years ago, moved from a farm site, and tonight we discovered (well kevin did,I stood there repeating this isn't going to be good as I watched carpet and laminate fly away in chunks) an old farmhouse style wood floor. It looks rough right now but I can almost see the glow and shine of a newly finished wood floor. Three rooms worth of hardwood floor!!!! I am so excited! Yes, me who hates any sort of chaos in my home, especially of the home remodeling type is completely and totally excited to start ripping out flooring.
