Flooring!!!

Things are going well! My dad helped me get the kitchen together (microwave and fridge in) and he got the flooring put down in the laundry room. We even have the new dryer hooked up in there and running. Unfortunately we have the new washer hooked up downstairs since there is no plumbing in the new laundry room yet. The good news is that we sold our washer/dryer and range in 4 days on Craig’s list. It would have been humorous watching Jan and I the first time we ran the washer. We sat on the floor and watched the clothes tumble! Friday nights aren’t what they used to be. :)

We had a day and a half fiasco trying to get the in-floor heat running. Seems like it was a comedy of small errors that caused everyone a big headache. Unfortunately my dad couldn’t stay to help me start on the flooring in the new wing because we had to let the flooring run and evaporate the moisture out of the concrete. We did however, get the newel posts for the stairway to the office in and planned the attack on the flooring. Finally on Sunday Wiley and I started putting down the new flooring.

Sometime in the last couple of weeks I got the front door (mostly) stained and clear coated but I forgot to get a picture of that.

Right now we have heard that counter tops will be here in the next two weeks but no one has scheduled anything with us yet so we are still skeptical. We hope it happens though since we are down to the last 3 weeks before the baby comes.

We picked out carpet today and the guy comes to measure tomorrow…hopefully that will happen pre-baby also….not sure.

Here are some pictures for everyone….
