A Disturbance in the Floors

Our order from Home Depot (for Allure Light Bamboo flooring) was delayed six weeks, then delivered within four weeks, ultimately three weeks late. Home Depot was cool and gave me 15% off for the delay, which was already discounted 10% by the HD credit card I opened to purchase the floors. Must. Close. Credit Card. Soon! Anyhow, the floors arrived, and they're beautiful. We put them in this weekend. Simple as pie, right?

Late start on Saturday - don't believe the smile - that's fifteen measurements into a completely overwhelmed decision that needs about fifteen more measurements and probably a decision. Notice no floors laid yet.
Progress at the end of Saturday...
Sunday arrived with renewed effort...
Powered by guacamole salsa...

Each piece took more than expected, as you can tell from these "very Brie" moments. First one's a little embarrassing for the camera man aka expert floor cutter.

Simple fixes are life's joys...


The final product...
That's all for now folks. Heading to New Mexico for some 100 degree heat. Adios muchachos!
