The Flooring Project

The Project Begins, Day 1

 Today is day three of the flooring project. 

We have been installing flooring. Of course this is a multi-day project, but spanning into day 3 with the refrigerator in the middle of the kitchen made it a bit harder. 

It is going well, but slow. Anyone who has laid floor knows that the big areas are easy, the hard part is getting the cuts against the walls done properly, or going around walls and kitchen islands all while ensuring that the floor meets properly on the other side.

I had hoped the project would be a three-day event, but it is clearly going to take until Friday, or possibly Saturday to complete. There is a major renovation still to occur in the powder room. Ugh. 

Why is the fridge in the middle of the room, you ask. Well, the flooring in its area is laid, but the quarter round has not been installed and we do not want to move the behemoth twice. Once was enough and I'm not sure my back can take too much more abuse from the fridge--which is surely more than an icebox. The floor looks great, right?

There is only a few square feet of flooring remaining, and of course the powder room. But there is tile work to do in the powder room. We are removing the tile which was used as along the base of the wall and replacing it with a more normal base board--but that means we may have to do some wall work as well. 

Projects--always bigger than they seem.
