I am my own landlord

Nobody above me is responsible for repairs to this elderly house. So its hubby and me who get to foot the bill for house need its. There used to be carpet on the upstairs hallway- until this morning there was shag carpet there. We had a fix it guy come out and rip all that carpet out. We could see where the pups had had boo boos. Bye bye dirt and disaster! The fix it man found a square in the floor- in a side alcove- that was punky so he worked that area into a viable stepping place. (No falling through into my dining room, thank you very much!) Tomorrow he will come back and sand down the wood planks. 124 year old wood planks. Yup. Not going to look like Home Depot. Fine. Sure will be easier to keep clean. Bye bye to a lot of pocket change. Having a nicer hallway will be worth it. I had fun looking at the solid chunks of wood that Fix It Guy removed. I am not sure what I will do with some of the little piece of tongue and groove wood but they're sure pretty in their own yesteryear way.
