Cover Up!

Well, the floors were nice while they lasted, but... now you see 'em, now you don't!  Mick and I (well, mostly Mick!) were in today to carefully lay wax perimeter along the edges that will have baseboards (there will be no shoe mould, so we use wax paper that will slip out from under the baseboard once installed), roll underlay paper throughout, tape those seams to reduce the chance of grit getting to the floors, then cover all the high traffic areas with 1/8" masonite.  The main room is all ready for a game of basketball!

Flooring Progress

As I suspected, this floor looks fantastic.  For me, it has the right number of impefections and distress marks so that it looks lived in, but not "worn" right away.  Nice choice Karen! (and Dave?)

Hardwood Arrives

The engineered hardwood arrived today.  It's beautiful:  lightly distressed, 7" wide with a light grey finish.  Should look great!
