Flooring

Well they finally came to work on the floor!!

They delivered the wood last Tuesday, but in needed to just be in the house to acclimate for a week. So for that week it just sat in the hallway and Judson climbed on it. He loved having it there, thought it was so much fun to that "high" off the ground!

Here is what it looked like before they started. It had been buckled when we moved in, then service master came to check for water damage and tore out a bunch of it. We had been keeping this area covered in rugs so that we would not stub our toes.

They came Tuesday to get started. We had to move every thing out so they could tear out the old flooring. It was a bit annoying to have everything in the living room. We were finally getting settled and then had to live in a mess again. Luckily our living room is big so we still had room to live! Judson and I also spent a lot of time in the basement. So happy that we have a lot of his toys down there and Nate figured out how to get a T.V. hooked up down there. (there are not many outlets and is not a cable hook up)

Wednesday they came and started to lay the new flooring but did not get as far as they thought because they did not have the board that they needed to help move the fridge without scratching the floor.

They did get the entry and closet done though!! Just not all the bathroom or kitchen.

Today the guy came back and was able to finish the kitchen!!! It is so great to have a fixed floor!! It is so great to not have to worry about tripping on it too!

See doesn't it look so great now!!


The bathroom is not done though because they ran out of wood. The guy that measured and ordered the wood thought there might be enough but knew it would be close, well he was right it was close but there was not enough. I am just so glad that the guy that laid it decided to get the kitchen done! We can just shut the bathroom door and not have to look at in or deal with it for now. The wood under the toilet is the old stuff and has to be taken out and redone, but new wood has to be ordered first. It is sad because each box does 40 square feet and only about 9 needs to be done, but a whole box has to be ordered. I am just glad that the main part of the house is done!! SO SO SO HAPPY!!
