Kitchen Flooring

Our kitchen almost has a new floor! We borrowed a nailer from the local tool library (a great $ saver) and have started to lay down the floor. Once we decided upon a pattern it went down fairly fast. We have a few more rows to nail in this week, then we'll be getting ready for the cabinets, sink & stove. Also notice the new paint! The black corner in a few of the photos is our new frig (take 2, live & learn!). After the 1st needed the service guy to come out twice only to leave us with hot air blowing we decided to return it and buy new. We opted to have the frig delivered to save the hassle & we were able to get it in black to match our stove. Now we are very pleased.

Master Bedroom Floor Finished!

Floors have been refinished!! Pictures were taken right after applying the poly so they are still wet. The floor came out a bit darker than we expected, even though it was a clear gloss poly, but it looks good. We cheated a bit with the wood filler and bought the cheap uncolored filler and decided not to go through the effort of staining it. It looks fine and we're happy but it would also look great if it had been a perfect match.

Kitchen

We have slowed down a bit on the house work over past month as it was burning us out. We've gotten back into the swing a bit though. We had to re-level our kitchen floor, partly because it may not have been perfectly level to begin with and there was a major leak in our water lines after they were installed. We were able to level the floor with thin sheets of plywood and a lot of large shims. We have the 1st coat of primer on the walls and the ceiling is painted. John also entirely re-wired our kitchen light (ebay purchase), and to my amazement it worked and there are no extra pieces that I know of. The master bedroom floors are coming along. We've filled in all the cracks and holes throughout and now it needs the final sanding passes then we will poly.
