I'm also proud to announce, that the other day, I started off Yukon "No Injury" Day, Tuesday Sept. 2 with a BANG by dropping a gigantic metal fence post on my hand at 6:30 am. So much for no injuries! Boy I sure don't waste time with some things... I even have the bruise and puffy hand to prove it.
Oh yeah, so here's a post from a ways back. I'm pretty sure I didn't post it or anything similar, but if I did, would anyone really notice? Or care?? God, my floor was clean then, hahahahahaha. Ahem. Ok, it looks nothing like that now.
Prepared to be dazzled people. I painted my floor last weekend. I know, I know, contain your excitement though, the pictures are here.
Yep, same colour as before. Ooh! And I got that new under-the-stove-board-thingy. Much better than the old tin with the sticky-uppy pieces that I always forgot about and stepped on anyways.
Um, mom - avert your eyes... NOW!
Ok, so here is what it's like to paint half of the cabin. Sucks to paint when you're living in it.
I painted this then attempted to go for a bike ride and realized I forgot my helmet inside on the couch. In that rubbermaid container on the couch, isn't that where all cyclists keep their helmets? So I had to step VERY lightly on the freshly painted floor. And then retouch that part. Then, I realized I had no iPod. Back over the freshly painted floor to the kitchen table (NEW kitchen table btw!). One more retouch. Okayyyy, I'm ready to go... no, crap! Where's my water bottle... argh! Back over the retouched paint, more retouching... all in all, the floor is dirty again as the dogs and I track dust all over it, so really, why did I paint at all?
Speaking of the dirtiest dog in the world - Lucy could have easily been born a pig!
She's clean on HER NEWWWW DOG BED though. They are a hit amongst the local canine population (although they much rather prefer sleeping upstairs with me)
More floor that was once clean.
Harris kinda needs a bigger bed, but he's not one to complain much. Oh that dog kills me. He's the sweetest thing ever. He only kind of growls at the puppies, but only so I can barely hear it. He's quite tolerant for the most part yet still has his squirrel hunting obsession.

Your floor looks quite spiffy!
Floor looks great. Painted plywood floor stays clean way better than unpainted. Speaking as one who lived on plywood for almost 10 years
Oh, that's pretty. My plywood is painted plain ol' grey!
I lived on varnished plywood floors for a long time as a kid. Swore when I got my own place it wouldn't happen. Guess what. When I bought a house and tore up the floor I left the bear boards and varnished them. Go figure.
Like your blog
Meant bare not bear. *sigh*
Hi, Stumbled onto your blog while googling "painted floors." Yours turned out great! Maybe mine floor will look okay, too!
Yeah I get a few visitors searching for painted plywood floors. I've got to say though that with the traffic that comes thru here, I pretty much have to re-paint every 2yrs or so. Doesn't last long. But it's cheap(er)! I also have numerous dogs running thru here, so it's not really "normal" wear and tear... :)
