monster house

and the house is still standing. :)

We were able to get things somewhat put back together, we rented a couple of tables with chairs (our furniture is still in storage), we kept the grill running and the food a'flowing. A good time was had by all!

Now, we're in the process of cleaning up the basement -- getting rid of the dust -- and we'll be moving things into our nice new living room again so Bissell Jr can refinish our floors on Monday. I'm not looking forward to starting over again and dealing with all the mess, but I can't live with the floors the way they are.

I've finally uploaded a bunch of new pictures so everyone can see the final product!
