Day Two, Room Two by digitalrn

Day Two, Room Two

Today was another busy one, but my Brother was able to finish room two. My Son was a big help too, as there was lifting involved, and he's much younger than I am. The hallway and two bathrooms to go, and one more day remaining. The photo in the bottom center I captured my Son using the vacuum. That doesn't happen often, so I'm glad I have it as proof that he knows how. That photo is after most of the carpet was ripped up. The upper left is after the flooring was in, and the upper right is after we moved the furniture back in, in particualr, my compter desk, or my "Play Station." I had to get that up and running, after all , there are priorities. I cannot believe the difference in the sound quality in the rooms. It's amazing. And the poor puppies, the are having a problem with traction. Actually it's pretty funny. Cheap entertainment. I'm ready for bed.
Looks lovely and aren't you the lucky one to have family members that know how to work!

Doggies and hardwood floors always make for a good laugh. Hahaha! :0) The floor looks great! Nice collage.

Excellent Rick. Isn't it terrific when we change things. I make an improvement in one room and it spreads. You have to do the next and so on.

July 14th, 2011

Sue

July 14th, 2011  
@barbara Barbara, yes, it is funny to watch them, especially Toby as he tries to take off for the front door when the Mailman comes by. No traction.
July 14th, 2011  
@sarasdadandmom Terry, my legs and back are screaming that all night long. It does feel good though.
July 14th, 2011  
It looks wonderful- ENJOY the fruits of your labor!!
July 14th, 2011  
Wow - the floor is looking gorgeous! We had to put down some throw rugs when we moved in here - our daughter's dog, Tanner, was just too afraid to walk around on the hardwoods. He has very long legs and he looked like an accident ready to happen. Good job on the collage and the floors! Your son with the vacuum - priceless! :)
July 14th, 2011  
Very cool. Seems to be going well.
July 14th, 2011

Goodness it does look good Rick ! Looks like a major revamp, you won't need to do any cleaning for ages !!! Seriously I think the wooden floors are modern & stylish ! Poor dogs though !!
July 14th, 2011  
Great collage RIck to show you progress.
July 14th, 2011  
Looks terrific! I'm intrigued that it's vinyl - who makes it?
July 14th, 2011  
WOW! That is so beautiful, both the room and the collage. Doesn't sprucing things up make you feel good! I love rebirth of every kind.

@cglist Cindy, It's called Allure. If you go on to HomeDepot.com, look under flooring, and you can see the different patterns. It's an amazing floor, and really my Brother says it is one of the easiest ways to install good quality flooring. You can go right over top of the old flooring. It does not adhere to the floor, just eat of the previous panels.
July 14th, 2011  
Rick, I hope you guys get to enjoy that floor for years.
July 14th, 2011  
Wow looks all shiny and new :)
July 14th, 2011  
He looks like he's doing a stellar job--can we borrow him? lol
July 14th, 2011  
Great job...that's quite a task...and I'm sure it makes all the difference in the world...nice to have a change...
July 14th, 2011  
Wow, the rooms look awesome, Rick. We have wood throughout our house (though put linoleum in the bathroom). I love the look and find that with our allergies, it's so much better. Congratulations. You'll love it!!
July 14th, 2011

July 14th, 2011

Oh Ok I get it you're not replacing it with carpet - but a wooden floor -so much easier to clean & pretty popular currently. Lovely new look.
July 16th, 2011
