Floor Accomplished!

Matt worked almost 12 hours yesterday to get the new wood floor down in our dining room. He had to rent a nailer from Home Depot and said he used about 1200 nails on it. Wow!

He laid about 4-5 rows last week, so he had some done before he started, so here he is starting where he left off.



Getting some more done!

Before Matt put the wood door, he put down this red paper to help protect the floor (or something like that). We thought it would be fun to have the girls draw on this paper and when they pull the floor up in the future, they can see their cute drawings.

Megan's drawings:

Courtney's drawings:

Finished! The floor anyway :)

Next step: the woodwork.

We debated today whether to put the old woodwork back on or put new woodwork on. I think in the end, Matt is going to put new woodwork on around the floor and quarter-round. Our old woodwork was scuffed up and didn't look very nice by the new floor. The new woodwork doesn't match exactly, but we think it is close enough.

Hopefully he can get this done before Megan's birthday party next week- that's his goal anyway.

Then we can move in our new hutch and new dining room table! As for now, they are in boxes in my piano room.

We already tore into the box on the left hand side, I wanted to see my hutch again!

I have piano lesson tomorrow night, so I need to figure out what to do!

Look for future updates later this week! We should have a completed room by next Sunday!
