A painful week of labor for my knees and back. But whenever I run into the lady we did it for, she always comments on what a beautiful job we did and how much she loves her floors. Her satisfaction makes the pain of the install seem worth it now.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-26386724338213619492008-05-05T02:32:00.000-04:002008-05-05T02:32:00.000-04:00I love the picture that accompanies it--I can almo...I love the picture that accompanies it--I can almost smell the musty leather smell.Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-26984608037130739122008-05-03T10:35:00.000-04:002008-05-03T10:35:00.000-04:00beautifully said.beautifully said.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975021445247888037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-18946425995560885322008-05-01T15:13:00.000-04:002008-05-01T15:13:00.000-04:00Mr. Macrum, just remember this: it is NEVER okay ...Mr. Macrum, just remember this: it is NEVER okay for a man to throw out veteran shoes or boots, with or without sentimental value.<BR/><BR/>Great post.
