Fantastic Floor Finish

In the midst of all this busyness of what is a sort of continuous move, The Fuzz's Sweetie has been busy with her own "Home Improvements".
She does most of the interior decorating, which amounts to a lot of painting and such. We had (at one time) hoped to cover the plywood flooring with some tongue and grove pine boards, but with so many other things needed, the budget would not handle it. But that talented and resourceful woman came up with a better plan.Here's a look at some of the work in progress.
These first 3 are in the Livingroom.
First, she filled some of the worst dings with wood filler, and then, added some leftover wall paint for a bit of color.The next step was to add the designs.
(Very time consuming)
She did this with a small brush and some wood stain.
This is then covered with several coats of varnish.
This last 1 is in the Bedroom.This is not all finished yet, but we hope to get it done before it turns cold since it requires good ventilation.
In a couple weeks (weather permitting) we hope to get a new roof on. And sometime soon, The Fuzz will have to get a flue pipe of some sort put up for the heater.
And that's a look at what we've been up to lately.
