In reality I really AM NOT a Hoarder! I just play one every once in a while when the house goes under de-struction re-construction! LOL! This is our kitchen, circa 1960-70's, looking into the family room and down the basement stairwell (unfinished). Looking back into the dining room and living room from the kitchen...

Home Improvement — The Floor Begins!
Hi Everyone! We (mostly Jim) started laying down our new wood floor! Whoot! The floor we chose is rustic maple in a natural finish.
