World, We have flooring...

After 450 sq. ft of flooring, 4 rolls of underlayment, two saw blades, 10 donuts, 2 pizzas, 14 hours, a little bit of blood, a couple instances of frustration, and a celebration hug; we have a beautifully installed new flooring in our downstairs living room, kitchen and powder bath. I had 3 fantastic helpers in Corrie, Damion and Mike on Friday night to get the prep work done and 3 equally fantastic helpers in Don, Scott and Mike on Saturday and I think the results speak for themselves. I still have to reinstall the toilet and put up new baseboards, but I feel confident in calling this project a huge success!! Thank you Gus for not eating to much carpet padding, thanks to Natalie for supporting me with this project and to everyone involved for all your hard work, and Sarah, for letting me use Mike for Friday AND Saturday.

(ignore the rags under the feet of the furniture, we hadn't gone to the store to buy the pads yet.)
