The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Wood laminate floors are terrific. The stuff they have now is really nice and holds up wonderfully.

No pics? :-(

I really wanted to do wood laminate in the beach house. Tried to figger six ways from Sunday to make the floor flat enough... but it just couldn't be done. Had to go with the vinyl.

Pics when it's all done and we've got stuff back in place. Still looks like a war zone.

A war zone with a vey nice floor, but still...

It's not a ~real~ remodel unless it looks like a war zone. :-D

I still remember the nightmare this house was when we redid the kitchen.

It's still gonna look pretty rugged until we paint. Especially in the kitchen where there was wall repair involved with putting in the new microwave and fridge. That and repairing the ceiling from last year's leak.

Pippin is just being hilarious... he's totally wired, and won't sit still, but his body just isn't quite working. He keeps flopping around, bumping into stuff and falling down.

Painting is the least of it when it comes to a repair/remodel of any sort, IMHO.

Although it does make a huge difference in the finished product. :-D

Poor baby. Put him in the carrier then so at least he won't hurt himself.

Hopefully Tweek is sleeping her surgery off quietly at the vet's.

Yeah, but that was your voluntary decision that caused the flopping around and bumping into stuff.

And at least you got a good buzz from it. :-)

Pippin had something taken. His Preciousesss..

*smirk*

He'll be right as rain in the morning.

Did he eat anything?

I thought you could put a floating laminate floors over less than perfect floors.
