Flooring: Part 1

For the last two months, I have slowly been replacing the flooring (partially flooded) in my house. I cut all of the carpet and padding out on my own, and pulled staples and nail strips until I thought I might go crazy.

So many nails…

But once they were gone, oh.my.gawd. How much better my new floors look!

I purchased the Harmonics brand laminate flooring from Costco in the “Sunset Acacia” shade. It is a great product, but definitely not as easy to install as the video on their website would have you believe. If it were not for the kind donation of time from best friend’s father, and his tools, I would never have gotten these installed on my own.

My house is decorated for Christmas, and ignore the mess in the background of some images (I’m getting there). Yes, the cats did follow me into every room and jump in the pictures. For a look at the “before” check out my first post.
