Staples

No, I'm not talking about the office supply store, but rather the theme of our day on Saturday when we braced Winter Storm 2012 to head back to the house and get the floors ready for our wood floor install this Friday...yippee!  But, before we can jump up and down about new floors, one of our first DIY projects has been ripping up the carpets, lifting out the tack boards, and staples (making sure they are all out of the floor).  I swear, if I ever see another staple again! :)  Our hands were sore, I even got a couple of blisters, but in the end, our floors were delivered and now we're just days away from having them in.
