It is home improvement time here at the White house. We have planned for a while to get some new flooring and are finally taking the plunge. Along with that, we had some new windows put in last week and more insulation added to our attic. In the words of Matt, "I feel like I am hemorrhaging by spending all this money!" We hadn't planned to have it all done at the same time, but it worked out that way. Maybe it is a good thing to get it all over with because our house is a MESS!
The insulation being blown in the attic created a layer of dust everywhere! We tore out our own old carpet and hardwood. Yes, I did say we tore out hardwood. It pained Matt, but it would have been much harder to match up and it had some bad spots in it. Thanks to our friends John and Vonda who helped us with some of the tear out. We have furniture in our kitchen and bedroom and garage. The house is in a bit of disarray.
But, the good news is that today they started laying our new flooring. We decided to go with hardwood in our great room and dining room instead of the carpet that used to be in there. It is looking good so far!
Here are some pics of the tear out procedure and the beginning stage of laying of the hardwood. To be cont.......
