Flooring

Our engineered hardwood flooring had acclimated for a week - so this weekend we had no excuses - we were going to lay the flooring in the kitchen, living room and hallway. There would be no fishing, snowboarding or relaxing until it was done. As it turned out our weekend was extremely dull. There were none of the above activities - we laid the last piece at about 5 pm Sunday. Thank goodness for the Masters. It was on all weekend and provided a slight distraction from all the bending, kneeling, glueing, sawing and splinters. The house now looks like a house, and not a construction site. Its awesome!


We started at the end of the hallway  - it ended up being the hardest area as there were a lot of cuts needed.

We lay the underlay first.

It took all day to lay this much. We ended friday somewhat deflated by how time consuming it was, but we were happy with how it was starting to look!

Day 2 - the kitchen and entrance way.

Once we didn't have to make many cuts, and we could just glue and click - progress was quicker


Url was exhausted

and then had a second wind, and wanted to help!!
