"after" photos, days 2 & 3

Here are the photos after we started ripping out the carpet, only to discover that the hardwoods were gorgeous until the contractors decided to use them as a drop cloth for the painting as well as the drywall. The closeup photo with the stained drywall mud is where we believe they dropped a bucket of mud, left it there, and then while still damp, covered it with carpet! Lucky for us, it won't have to come out, just sanded down a bit and refinished. The guys are coming this weekend to work on the floors, and my sister Kathy and I are hoping to knock out the rest of the painting today. Yesterday, Mom, Dad, & Kathy came up to help out, and B's mom Patrice came over to help, too. Photos of the new paint coming soon! Dad fixed the kitchen sink drain (was leaking) and redid the pipe that went from the garbage disposal to the trap. He also tried to light our water heater pilot light, but there's no gas! Guess the gas company will have to come back out...
