Well we did it to the best of our limited ability and finances. The big on vacation project is all but finished. I removed the carpet in the hall way on Monday. On wednesday I acid cleaned and etched the concrete floor. then I came up with a simple design for the pattern of the new stained floor, then I came up with another pattern and finally I had a pattern I could stan standing on. Yesterday it was an all day affair masking, and prepping and painting and waiting between each step. Don't get me wrong I did other things this week we were able to get in 8 episodes of Angel, and watch a rental movie during all this waiting to dry and such. So it has been a vacation. I have to be back at work on Tuesday so we still have three plus days ahead. We are using that time to visit Jenni's folks and sibs in Tennessee. Here is the images of the floor project., We will be adding a urethane sealer soon as we can figure how not to stick two cats and one blind dog in it permanently.

Before and after.
Now off to the In-Laws.
Happy Fourth of July!
