Days 3 & 4

Monday and Tuesday the hubby had to work on his own in the house. First thing in the morning two workers came to level the upstairs floors.

the hubby continued in the living and dining room. He ripped out the loose parquet and floorboards. With the help of one of the workers he also moved the old, broken fireplace. He did a great job.

Next on the list is sanding the floors so the rest of the adhesive comes off and we’re ready to level the floors.     

Als nächstes auf dem Plan steht das Abschleifen der Böden, damit der Kleber vollständig entfernt wird, bevor die Böden mit Estrich ausgeglichen werden können.
