New Floors!

On Friday, the first day of my summer, we decided to go look at some different laminate floors in Everett. That was about noon. This First picture was Friday at about 4PM or so.

Then I had to run back to Lowe's to get a flush cut saw to get the 1/4 inch plywood up from under the vinyl. Here is Josh and I pulling out the staples later that evening.

After the vinyl was out of the way I started in around the fireplace. It was a little bit difficult around the tile. This is where we got to on Friday night, although I took the picture in the morning after I started laying out another row.

On Saturday Josh, Kenzie and I tore up the carpet all the way down the hall. We wrote bible verses on the floor. Here is Josh with his.

Then we put all the hall pieces in that evening.



On Sunday we went to church and then Josh and I went to Jacob Elenbaas' birthday party in Everett. When I got home we finished off all the way to the garage wall and into the bathroom. I had to pull out the toilet and vinyl flooring and plywood in there too. Isn't vinyl great? I still haven't finished the bathroom, but it runs straight through the door to the cupboard. I need to do the left side all around the toilet.

Monday is the first day of cub scout camp and I'm going along to help out. I'll have Tuesday and Wednesday to finish up the kitchen, living room and little short hall to our bedroom. Oh, and the rest of the bathroom. I think I can manage. We'll see. I'm mostly afraid of putting the trim back up. It seems like such a pain. I almost forgot, I'm planning on doing the hall closet too.
