Pain

We installed wood flooring this past weekend and I am sore. It seems like it was harder this time around. It looks pretty good though. I'm pleased with the results. Avery even chipped in with the demolition. I have some before and after action here for you to enjoy:










After it was done we went to Tiny Town and celebrated Mother's Day.

The floor looks amazing. I like Avery's safety glasses.

Nice floor Ben. Do you have cement under there? Avery looks like quite the little demolition man. Looking forward to seeing you guys soon. Bring on the summer! woohoo!

I think the classic rendition of "Pain" is by David Bowie.

The picture of Avery and Ben in the demolition phase is a classic. I need that photo for my office picture frame. However, I'm not sure the safety glasses meet OSHA and COSHA guidelines.

I was actually thinking of Jimmy Eat World, but those are all valid answers.
After that picture Avery and I switched to real safety glasses. I guess mine were real, Avery's were from his Bob the Builder toy. That wasn't the first time I was in OSHA violation. I prefer speed and comfort to cumbersome safety gear.
We are looking forward to seeing averyone soon too. I would say I'm excited about summer, but there is 8 inches of snow on my porch.

Jimmy Eat World was the band I thought of first too. Did you run wood up the steps? Or did you just quit with the main level?

Sam, I still have to do the stairs. I have the wood, but not all the trim pieces I need.
RAS, there was fiber cement under the tile. I had to scrap it up before laying the wood. I didn't enjoy that part.
