Update: Flooring Finished (95%)

It's almost done - my husband is awesome :) (note: I did not force him to do this all in one evening, it was self-motivated). But he did it, and it looks great! We just need to do a few more cuts and we've it all done.

Just a quick note on the flooring. While everyone wants a hardwood floor, we needed to be practical, particularly for the neighborhood we live in. We both thought hardwood would not be a good investment for this house, and let's face it, it's a budget buster to the extreme. So we decided to look at pre-engineered hardwood and laminate flooring instead. We finally decided on one we liked in the laminate section and we news Lumber Liquidators was having a sale in which we got an add'l .20 off a sq. ft. which was a decent discount. We also compared to flooring at Lowe's and Home Depot but just kept coming back to this one: St. James 12mm Bond Street Teak The color is actually a bit darker than the website shows, and I was pleased with all the positive reviews! I'll be posting one myself after we decide the wear and tear on this badboy!

Here are pics!
