Floor Update

After fits (by me) and starts (yes, plural), the kitchen floor is finally almost ($%^%#$@!#$%) finished. More about the almost in a minute.

Here is the floor removal halfway through.

The piano and pool table had to be moved into the den and everything had to be covered with plastic to minimize the dust. At least we had room for a Christmas tree.

All of the small items and chairs from the den were moved into the dining/wine room about a month ago. Good thing we didn't have any dinner party plans during the holidays.....

We now get to put everything back together. The goal is to have it completed by Christmas night.

oh - about the "almost" - there is a low spot in the area between the rooms. No idea how that happened, but they have to tear it out, level it and put it back together. Not sure when this will happen. They also did not fix the hallway in the master suite, so that will be fixed at the same time.

NO Floor this Week

I'm so angry about it that I can't post anything that my mother could read, so I'll post more later.

New Floor - Part 1

Here is the new floor in the den. No more buckled seams. Yea! Only 5 1/2 months after moving in.............

Phase 2 starts on Monday, December 13. Oh boy! They get to move both the piano and the pool table. Should be fun!!!

Finally!

Well, it's not the landscaping!. The floor guys finally showed up on Monday and after the Guy called Bob the Builder, he sent over more workers and they got the existing wood up from the den floor. That little exercise took all day and here is a photo of the results.

Naturally, Brix thought all the wood chips were there just for his chewing enjoyment, so it has been quite a feat to keep him out of there.

Day two was the removal of all of this wood and glue residue. That endeavor also took all day. Today was the laying of the new floor. Photos to come....

Oh, and we now have about 1/4 inch of dust all over the den and kitchen.
