New Floors

First off, I must give major props to Garrett for doing all of the work by himself. I helped a little bit, but mostly just tried to keep the boys out of the way. It was a lot of work and the house was a crazy mess for several weeks, but it looks great and we saved a lot of  money doing it ourselves.

DURING

We put in tile and hardwood everywhere except for the bedrooms and the carpet and kitchen floor had to be taken up and the slab prepped before we could start anything. I have pictures of the real work, the tile and wood being put down, but I am not sure where they are at the moment and too tired to hunt them down. The tile took the longest and it was not really a fun process. Once it was all down and grouted, we had to wipe it down numerous times with a bucket and a sponge on our hands and knees. Not my idea of a good time, but we got it done and then Garrett put the sealer on it.

Daddy's little helper. I found them like this many nights.

AFTER

We love it! It makes the house look so much bigger. It is kind of hard to keep clean, but I like being able to see what is on the floor instead of not knowing what is hiding in the carpet.

My office (This is actually supposed to be the formal dining room and the office is through the doors on the left. However, the office is now a playroom and who needs a formal dining room anyway?)
