Well, today was a busy day, and it was another hot one. I think the temperature reached about 92 along with the high humidity. Thank goodness for central air conditioning. My Brother who has been out of work since his kidney transplant 6 years ago, has been able to pick up odd jobs to help supplement their income. He is definitely a handyman. My Wife has been after me for the last year to get rid of the carpet, so once we, or should I say, my Wife decided on the floor she wanted, we hired my Brother to do the work. He did an awesome job today. Packing up the loose items and moving everything out of the room in preparation for this week was quite a job. You only then realize how many things you accumulate. I now truly dread the thought of ever moving. I think we will just have sale. Anyway, I thought I would show you what we were doing all day, and share the project thus far. Tomorrow, the hallway and room number two.
Rick, it's beautiful! I know your wife and you will really enjoy this new floor. It's feels good to spruce up the joint, doesn't it. That's what I've been trying to do & it is nice to see. I have to admit that a peaceful, loving house means more to me than new furniture, but a new sofa can sure make things comfortable. :)
The floor looks great! Double bonus for getting it done on a really hot day. I'm going to come back and look at this picture when I feel like I'm drowning in "stuff" and clutter, to remember that cleaning out can be done.
Nice colour flooring Rick!
Your brother did a good job!
Can't wait to see the other rooms.
I know what you mean about accumulating, we are doing our lounge & dining room floors in the very near future & I'm not looking forward to that.
@nikkers Hey Nikkers,we had carpet in the two living rooms, and my Wife wanted to get rid of the carpet, so this is the new floor. Still have the second room, hallway and two bathrooms to go
NICE!! I hate carpets, we have been slowly getting rid of ours too. The stairs were the hardest to do so far. Upstairs hallway and 3 bedrooms to go...
He did a nice job, it looks great! I like the shade of wood your wife chose, it's about the same as ours.
Very rich looking..you guys did a great job. we have a wood floor in the kitchen and later I also wanted to get rid of the carpet in our sun and dining room. so much cleaner and easy to keep it that way. but still have carpet in the living room...maybe one day.
@cirasj Joe, actually neither. It is a heavy duty vinyl, interlocking flooring, actully the panels glue together very securely. It comes in various patterns, we chose wood because of the rustic look. It has a 25 year guarantee.
Like the look but was surprised that it wasn't wood...looks like wood! When we move, we are going to sell the house with everything in it except for a few special items.
Lots of work...but you'll be so happy when it's finished. Very nice job. One day I hope to do our upstairs. We have hard wood floors downstairs but they wouldn't give us that option for the bedrooms when we had the house built. Someday...
Beautiful! I so know what you mean about accumulating... I think we're here to stay - trying to keep the storage rooms from overflowing and making monthly trips to Goodwill. Ha...

The floor looks beautiful, she has a good eye. :)
