Oh my days, ripping up that sub floor sounded like a serious amount of effort. I'm a woodworker by trade myself and I've been on a few jobs where I've had to rip up linoleum that's had a strong adhesive bond to the floor and that was bad enough!
The scriptures were really nice. I think little things like this make everything seem even more worthwhile.
Also, props to you for saying how you speak with your boys. That is hugely important and something that wasn't massively there for me as a child. Learning about how they feel is some top parenting. I'm sure they will appreciate it massively in later life.
Looking forward to seeing more of your posts about this renovation!
thank you for stopping by! I think that most parents pray that all the good they did outweigh the bad when its all said and done! A lot of missteps made with my boys but time spent seeking forgiveness and understanding will pay off in the long run!
