I made it through what was a really long day yesterday. It took them almost 9 hours but ladies and gents I have a new floor!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy and the floor looks so good!! Quite frankly I am amazed that it came out looking as good as it does. Tom is the only one who had laid this type of floor before (and it was a little different from the one he did) and there were a few little problems here and there. My hallway floor wasn't level. Who knew? Because of that there is a place where the boards have a small crack between them. I don't care really, I was going to put a throw rug in there anyway.
And you should have seen the hallway floor before they did anything. When I bought the house it had one of those old furnances that has the heat vent in the middle of the floor in the hall. I din't mind it, when you got cold you could just go stand on it and get warm. But when I had central air put in (and they had to put vents in all the rooms) I went ahead and replaced the furnance also so we had to close up that hole that was left behind. It wasn't UGLY, but it wasn't pretty either. The type of thing that throw rugs were made for!!
There are a few little things that still must get done. The molding at the bottom of the walls needs to be replaced and I need to get something to put where the flooring ends going into each of the other rooms. But none of this is a huge deal and I should have it taken care of by the end of the week.
I am however still trying to move around 2 bookcases that we moved into the kitchen (to get them out of the way while laying the floor). "They" (whoever they are) that these times of floor are hard to scratch. I don't really by that so I am trying to figure out how to get the bookcases where I want them without messing anything up. We moved them with the books still in them. I think I will have to take out all the books and maybe sit the bookcases on a rug or something to get them where I want them. But I also want the molding put down first so I don't have to move them yet again.

YEA! I'm glad they are done. I think I missed something, but I'm assuming they are hardwood floors. They must look beautiful. Slowly, it's coming together...Thank you so much for you prayers...I appreciate them greatly and I'm sure Kevin does too. Your comments are a blessing to me...thank you. Love and blessings...gloria and kevin, too.
It's a verison of hard wood flooring. It's that click together lamanate flooring that looks like real hardwood floors.
How about sharing some pics with us. ???? Lori
Congrats on the new floor. But for future reference, you've really got to whip them while they're working. No one believes me when I say that but it's true. They work so much faster that way. LOL!
