Our Floors!

Well as promised here are some pics of the flooring we installed this weekend.

Still in the package just waiting in the living room. You have to let the boards acclimate for where they will be installed.


Here Ben is getting out the last bit of carpet. The floors down are the original ones and in the pic they look good but not so much in person. 80)


The hall without carpet, we think the wood must have been in really bad condition here because they tore it all out.


Our poor bedroom during the construction phases. Needless to say it was a tight squeeze.


Same story in the kitchen.


Ben not wanting me to take a picture but i did anyways. The only piece we could not move out of the room was the desk so we worked around it.


The green stuff is the underlay material so the floors are not so noisy. It also helps level out the ground from any small imperfections.


Due to the bad weather we had to have the table saw inside, we decided all the sawdust could be easier contained in the bathroom. I did all cutting with the saw cause some how Ben got dropped off the insurance.


Almost there!!! This was about halfway, we were getting so close.


Finally the finished product!! We still have to lay the hallway but the living room is all done and we think it looks really great. Total time was about 12hrs but not bad. I will total up the cost when I have a chance but I know we came in under $300 but I think maybe even under $250.



At last the 11 inches of snow that fell saturday night and all morning sunday. 80)
Hope you all enjoy. love ya -Ben and Sarina

The floor looks great! The comment about you using the saw because Ben didn't have insurance was morbidly funny. You didn't mention any ER trips so I'm assuming you have all your fingers!
