Whence the death watch concludes, I’m on my way to nail down tack strips. You too can enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from hammering a wood strip into concrete. Think of the aggression you can work out. Think of the cathartic value. Think of how many more ways I can think of to say the exact same thing. If you missed the trimming of wet carpet you won’t want to miss tack stripping. It’s great fun for all of your upper bodies’ muscle groups.

Do you want to know something strange? Despite my sarcastic tone, I’m looking forward to tack stripping. I’m looking forward to this family room flooring project. What the hell is wrong with me?
