Lowes finally delivered the flooring a couple of Saturdays ago...all 60 plus boxes of it!! Joel was at work, so I met Cathy and Steve at the house to wait for the scheduled 11:30 am truck. Luckily we like each other and had a lot to talk about because the delivery men got lost and did not arrive until just about 1 pm! Joel had shown up by then, so all the guys unloaded and delivered the appropriate amount of boxes to each room. The wood has been acclimating to the house these past few weeks, and guess what? Steve says he will have some of the kitchen flooring in by late this afternoon!! Here is a picture of Striker anxiously awaiting the big reveal!
In preparation for the infamous floor install, Steve had to rip out the dining room planks as they had begun to split apart, the whole floor was uneven, and the transition from that room into the others would have been difficult. In addition to resetting the PEX tubing, Steve also had to use metal mesh and floor levelling compound to even up the slope of the room. Here are some photos of his efforts.
Hopefully I will be posting some finished flooring photos early tomorrow so stay tuned:)
