Renovations

Abbey is helping Daddy make sure the underlay is straight and flat!
Laying the floor.
Good thing Uncle Clay came to help!
Boy, is this ever tiring!

The living room is almost done in this pic.

Now the whole of the floor is done! For those of you who sometimes check my blog who live in Regina, wait until you see it next Tuesday at MEM!!! I am very excited! It looks quite nice, I am happy with it for sure.

Greg ripped out the carpet on New Year's Day, and started laying the underlay when his brother Clay got here to help him. They laid basically the whole living room on the first day, and then Greg worked on the 2nd up to the angled wall, through the dining room, and through the kitchen to the point of putting the fridge back. On the 3rd his dad and Clay came again to finish it off, Greg wanted his dad's help with lifting the banister, because laminate is a floating floor, you can't screw it to the underlay to re-attach the banister. It worked well and now it is done all the way through the living room, dining room, and the kitchen, up to halfway down the hall. We bought enough floor to do the entire hallway and the hallway at the back door, but we will wait until the bathroom renovations before we do that flooring, since the one wall in the bathroom will be moved for sure. It looks so good!!!!

Now he is installing the baseboards, and the plan is to get the kitchen painted as well, but since there is really only one day left (and half of Sunday) I don't even care if it happens (although it would be SOOOO good). If my stupid foot wasn't broken, I could be taking the wallpaper border off of the kitchen walls right now. Stupid foot!!!

I will take some more pictures and post them tonight, once I hobble back upstairs!
