Work

Last weekend was pretty eventful. Scott had to give up bass fishing to finally put in the new laminate flooring that has been sitting in our basement for like 6 months. Thankfully we had some help from Travis, Cara, and Adalynn.


We pulled up the old carpet and pulled out several hundred staples.





The green stuff is the moisture barrier. And the flooring begins...

They got quite a bit farther than this before Travis and Cara had to leave. Now Scott is thankful he married someone who can use a table saw (and any other saw for that matter). :)

We were able to finish up the living room that night - only about 12 hours after starting. (Thankfully Travis helped move the entertainment unit before he left because there was no way I could lift it.)We took Sunday off from working and played Scrabble instead. We're nerds. :)
Scott finished up a little more before heading down to the lake on Monday.

He finished most of the hallway monday night and did another board or two a night until finally finishing it completely this morning.

Today his dad is here helping with the kitchen flooring. Pictures later...

We forgot three pets in our last post. This is Jimmy and Patrick.

I didn't get any half-naked men doing my floor! I think I might have gotten jipped. Any rate, floors look great and maybe someday we can visit to see them in person.
