Floors

Awhile ago we had new floors professionally installed in our living room...by Ron and I! Okay, so we aren't professionals but we did a good job, if I do say so myself! When we moved into our house we ripped out the old carpet (that we'd had since I was 12) and put in new blue carpet. In a short amount of time and with the help of our three sons, the carpet was looking pretty bad. We decided to pull out the carpet and refinish the original hardwood floors. After talking about all the work that would take and the thought of trying to keep the boys off the floor for the entire weekend while waiting for the floor to dry, we changed plans. We deided to put down new floors on top of the existing hardwood floors. We did this same thing in our kitchen so we've had experience and we know it's pretty easy to do.

Ron cut the pieces and I installed them. After we finished the floors and put the molding back in we went and bought our new couches! Our living room looks MUCH better! It does look like a man's living room but with a house full of boys...what do you expect?





Here is a picture of it half way done!
