Diary of the DYIer

Day 5: Re-laid the floors we had to pull up. Things are looking up. I hope the rest of this goes well!

One Week Mark: we have the whole living room laid. We have determined that we are gonna have to attack the kitchen and hallway as separate rooms in themselves. We had planned on making them just extensions off the LR, but alas. I think it will look better anyways.

Too bad that in order to do that we are gonna have to buy two more $25 dollar pieces. Oh well.

At least that way we can say one room down, two more to go!

One Week + 1 Day: We had plans to start the hallway today, but as we were gearing up to get started we noticed that earlier, when Ty had dropped/thrown my 5 pound weights on the new floor he had placed four nice little holes in the laminate.

Awesome.

Thankfully, he did it where we had just put down and it was still somewhat accessible without pulling the ENTIRE floor up to replace the THREE boards he had messed up. Instead we only had to pull about 1/2 of what we did yesterday.

The little nerd.

Adrian, bless his heart, has had a crazy week between a weird schedule at work, school, tests for school..and his slave driver wife making every spare minute go into the floors, he is exhausted. By the time we were done pulling up/relaying the floor and he had sawed the baseboards for the closets, he was done. It was a long week, so we threw in the towel for the night and plan on starting/finishing the kitchen today.

Man. Alot of work, but what we have down right now looks great! Its so clean looking and the kids LOVE how "slippery" it is. Its a good thing!
