So after spending a grand total of about 26 hours at the house in the last three days, I finally have my laminate floor laid. So while taking a minor break from house stuff today, I uploaded all the new pictures to my site. There's pictures of the new floor, the new light fixtures and even doors! Wahoo! ;-)
And as an extra-added bonus, I put up a new QuickTime movie tour of the house. Be patient though, it's almost 40 MB, so it may take a while to load. :-P You can find the tour here.
Enjoy!
My plans for today involve getting some shopping done (gotta get groceries and some stuff for the house), then back out to the house to do some cleaning so that the carpet guy can do his thing tomorrow morning. Aside from that, it's a relaxation day! Yay!
Looking good! Are you putting laminate in the kitchen as well, or some kind of tile?
Thanks! That's a laminate in the kitchen you're seeing in the pictures. I have laminate in the entryway, then carpet up the stairs, to laminate in the dining room and kitchen. The rest of the rooms are carpeted, except for the bathroom (which is vinyl).
Is there going to be a railing on the upper floor above where the stairs to the basement go?
I must say it is looking really good, and I am very jealous. =)
Yup, the railings just aren't in yet. There'll be a rail going down the steps from the entryway into the basement, and up the steps from the entryway into the dining room, as well. Then there's the rail that keeps people from walking out of the dining room and directly into the basement via a 9 ft drop. :-P
I love the laminate flooring. I'm currently helping wire a friend's basement, and they installed similar flooring, which looks and feels fantastic.
Btw, you mention that you won't be sleeping in the Master Bedroom. Why is that?
Yes, I really am going to like having the laminate. I have a personal bias against vinyl that I simply cannot explain. So I'm thrilled to have laminate instead of vinyl in the house. :-)
It's got a prettier view currently (the other bedroom has a smaller window and its view is mostly of the back of my garage/neighbor's house). Since I work out of the house, I picked the bigger, more comfy room as my office.
Looking good. :) Is it just me or is my dorm room getting smaller?
Looks awesome! Sorry you had a headache and cancer Thursday. Hope to see you soon!
