Floors in 3 Hours!


This is our kitchen at about 8:00 AM on 4/16/08. I took down the drywall and removed the insulation. I found what appeared to be the tomb of the resident mice, complete with little skulls. Assuredly a future posting will be of Erika and I bringing home a pair of kittens that we will raise and train to be feline ninja mice assassins. Anyway, the piece of plywood represents our island - should be a perfect position as it's close the stove and whoever is sitting on long side to the right will be able to reach back and get beverages from the refrigerator!

Soon after 8:00 AM 3 workers showed up and almost instantly began to work. Hard. They didn't stop to talk, drink water or take breaks. This what they did the whole time:

When the floors are refinished you won't be able to see where the old floor met the new one. They "wove" the floors together. It's red oak, by the way which, apparently, is the most popular type of flooring in the US. Who knew?
