First, we painted over the walls in the kitchen and living room. There was a mixture of green paint underneath a yellowish color. Getting the paint was an adventure, because Scott's grasp of the language is very good, but not extensive enough to buy things like paint. Fortunately, some english speaking students from our school were walking by, and came to our rescue. We're so glad they did, because the three of them have turned out to be great companions.
Next, we tried to give the place a good scrub.
.... well, the concrete seemed to be un-cleanable, and we were ok with that...until we found a little shop that sold laminate flooring!!!!!!!!!!
It was cheap, and Scott has mastered laying it before, plus I don't get the heebie geebies walking around barefoot anymore!
Now our bedroom is sooo cozy. Scott did such a great job, working non-stop till it was done.
