Ask DJ Lyons: Home Office Renovations Day 9
66My home office is being re-done
We are on the home stretch now of the home office renovations. On Saturday, Feb. 12, 2011, Tommy and Dal began laying down the new flooring. It is very exciting watching this day-by-day progress. It gives me a new sense of appreciation for having a sturdy floor.
You can visit my previous hubs to see how it looked day-by-day prior to this day. It makes for quite a contrast.
I eagerly anticipate no longer looking like that "Hoarders" show in the rest of the house because I will finally be able to move my stuff back in to my newly redone home office.
