New Floors

We have just finished putting hard wood floors in our downstairs.  The linoleum wasn’t the worst, but carpet in the bathroom, nasty.  The carpet in the front entry was getting pretty hammered too.  We love the floors, and it was fun putting them in.  I had lots of help, and after a very brief instructional period, the helpers just went to town.  I’m glad we have family and friends full of craftsmen.  We spent 37% of what the cost estimate was for the work we did. 

Dinning area before destruction
Kitchen before destruction
All the little parts around the edges took the most time.
Doesn't that look good.
 Bean couldn't get his hands off the tools, and he always went for the saw, chisel, or power tools first
You can always judge a good project by the mess you make.
The front hallway.
 The new look of the kitchen. 
 Some people just couldn't keep up.
