Tearing up Carpet

So we bought this old 1940's house. We have been here for 4 months now. When we bought the house I knew it would have hardwood floors under the carpet. How I knew I can't really tell ya but I just had that feeling. We had this terrible pink carpet in the living room, hall way and master bedroom. In Carters room oldly enough there was this really ugly blue carpet. But hey blue matched his room. Everyone and there brother told us do not take that carpet up if there is hard wood floors under it they would be in bad condition. We did not listen. We have been slowly tearing up all the carpet in our house over the last week or so. We did the living room 1st its not finished old hard wood floors but in not to bad of condition. Next was the hallway they were the same as the living room except with tons of spills of white paint on them. Nothing to terrible as it will come off when we sand them down. Next came Carters room. I did it my self, I took the carpet up and then the carpet pad and bamb completely finished awesome looking hard wood floor. I love it!!!!! I am very sick of taking up all this carpet but man is the end going to be so worth it just looking at Carters room I am so excited to finish the whole house. The kitchen and bathroom doesn't have hardwood under it but thats ok we plan to tile them anyways. So much to do so little time (oh and money too!) Well though I would show you what Carters room looks like now. I forgot to take a picture before the nasty carpet came up but oh well.
