Sawing Away.

Its not going well. The first floor layer came up great.  However, the 2nd layer has a million and 1 staples that look like they were put down with staple machine gun.  You can't saw over them and you can't rip our the floor because they are just too many.  So we are removing them by hand.  And they are so much harder to get out than the carpet staples.  Why don't they show this on HGTV?????????

Plus even though we plasticed off the doorways, our house smells like sawdust and its all over the kitchen now.  No more cooking in there for a while.  Crockpot here I come. 

Some pics:


 Someone is done having their picture taken.

How the 2nd layer has to come up.  I'm investigating renting a floor scraper from Home Depot but I'm not sure they work well over a wood subfloor and all those staples.
