A Different Kind of Reefer...

This week produced major changes in the Train Room. I removed the remaining floor trim, for use elsewhere in our dwelling. I also removed all of the carpet and carpet pad. I scraped the bear floor, using a bladed tool that Bill Gamsby lent me. This involved moving things multiple times, including the contents of the closets, which are to the left and right of the entryway. Several more loads of non-train items were moved to new homes in other rooms. I finished up by doing the initial taping for the upcoming painting project.

An unexpected find behind one of the baseboard trim pieces was reefer, but not the refridgerated boxcar type. This "stuff" was left by the previous occupant, and I'm not planning to incorporate it into the refreshed decor of the room...

Half of the carpet gone, getting ready to scrape under the pad

Bare floor seeing daylight
Shuffled furniture, no more carpet
Non-railroad reefer!
