Flooring Extravaganza

I've been very busy with home renovation projects. I think I've exited hibernation phase into cabin fever, but my version of cabin fever is to drastically change my surroundings until I feel better. Here was the carpet in the kitchen as of January 28th. The same nasty, stained blue-gray stuff was in the sunroom.




This is after the asbestos guys removed the toxic flooring.





Then we had to remove the particle board layer--a messy job until late into the night.






Then my brilliantly talented contractor neighbor helped me install the hardwood floor we picked out. The pneumatic nail gun was fun, but temperamental. We had to keep close watch on toes (all of the time) and eyes (when we had to turn it upside down to fix it).






Lastly, you see that Kiwi likes the new floor in the sunshine.




P.S.: Happy Valentine's Day. I've been feeling the love for the new paint and flooring in the kitchen (I did say drastically change the surroundings). I'll post pictures of that soon.
