So there is no correlation between linoleum and pumpkins ... or so I thought! Last Thursday we had our carpets cleaned - one of the happiest days of my life!!! They really weren't too dirty but after 7 1/2 years of living here they definitely needed some TLC.
I managed to move all of the furniture that could be moved on Wednesday however I left the entertainment unit plugged in so the kids could still watch tv that night. On Thursday morning I asked my hubby to move it into the kitchen - I left just enough space in there for it. He slid it in as far as it would go - he then had to use a lot of force to move it, but it wouldn't budge. He kept trying until I came along and said I would help so he pulled it back and that is when we saw the damage! The lino in the kitchen now had several gouges in it.... SHIT.
So today I had a flooring repair man come to have a look, needless to say he cannot fix it. He would be able to remove and replace the 12 x 12 square if we had extra lino lying around .. but we don't. So I have called our insurance company to see if that would be covered or not under our home insurance and am still waiting to hear back from them. However after talking to my husband we decided to try and fix it ourselves! He figures if I can make a pumpkin hat for a baby I can repair some gouged linoleum. I am willing to try...so Home Depot here we come...we need lino glue and a brand new exacto knife!
And here is my pumpkin creation - cute!
