Flooring Project - Work in Progress

Finally I have a chance to post some pictures of the floors and how they've progressed. And boy, have we progressed! It's been a very busy 3 days, and it looks like we'll be done sooner than I'd anticipated.

Here's the living room, with the first row of flooring installed. The baseboards have been ripped out, which took quite a bit of time.

The floor went in a straight line from the front door in the living room to the end of the dining room. It meant moving alot of furniture around.

The china cabinet was moved into the kitchen. Not very comfortable, since it was blocking the pantry and I still needed to cook.

The other furniture ended up in the family room, my daughter's room and our bedroom. There's one table in the garage, but that's all that fit in there. It was getting pretty cramped.

By the end of the day plenty of progress was made. Half the living room was installed...

...and about of a third of the dining room as well.

Of course it meant that the family room was a mess because so much of our furniture was stuffed in there.

Friday was a tough work day, because the mouldings around the doors had to be cut before the floor could be laid down. Once that was done, though, the linen closet floor was installed - a tight fit, to be sure.

The area in front of the bedrooms was finished and the new baseboards were installed today. What a difference the details make! Suddenly the floors look finished, even though there's so much still left to do.

The family room was started today. We're halfway done in there! I really didn't expect that much to get done. My hubby and his brother are burning through that floor!

The living room floor is done, and the baseboards have been installed, though not finished. Half the room needs to be caulked and then it'll be finished.

This is the view from the front door. The furniture has been moved into the living room, so that the family room can be worked on.

The dining room floor is also complete, as is most of the baseboard. We needed to put alot of the furniture in this room, which is why it looks so messy. The mess is the part I hate about home improvement projects.

The last room to be done will be the kitchen. Appliances need to be moved, so we'll need to make space in the other rooms for that to happen. Still, I think the amount of work that has been completed is astounding. We're approaching the finish line!

Stay tuned for more updates!
