Job #4 Putting the Wood in...

Randy, our Wood guy delivered the oak wood flooring a couple of weeks before installation, so it could get used to it's new surroundings. :)

Mike pulled up the pergo flooring in the kitchen--which we will probably use down on our laundry room's cement floor--and discovered the orignial linoleum to the kitchen floor. This all had to come up to get to the sub floor for the wood to be placed on. Mike borrowed Randy's toekick saw and if you notice in the next picture one of the kitchen cabinet doors is missing....Ooops! Thank goodness it wasn't an arm or a leg though... Randy's laying it all out...

down the hallway...

Then we get to choose the stain... left to right
1. Golden Brown
2. Golden Brown, Blood Red equal mix.
3. Blood red
4. Golden Brown with 1/2 Blood Red.
They look a little different, since one picture used the flash and the other didn't.

Which did we pick?

Getting the stain down. matches nicely with our cabinets.
moving the island back...

Now it's all done and Decker had to try it out. I know Randy was just cringing as Decker rode across the floor.... ;) (This is a video you have to go to the blog to watch.)



Then a week later, fridge and stove put back in and all clean and organized!

Oh, and by the way, we chose #4! We love it and are so excited!
