Ok. so Leah keeps talking about me adding pictures of the progress to my blog on her blog.. I guess I better do it so here goes... Here's the floor with the holes filled in. I can't wait to see it all sanded and sealed. It's going to be GORGEOUS!!!
Dad helped Jordan & Sterling with the floor in the pantry. I don't think he could help himself. They would have done just fine on their own, but it was nice knowing he was helping them out.
Getting to the bottom of the wood pile. We just barely had enough of the "good" stuff to finish off the floors. It was pretty slim pickings by the time we were down to the last bundle.
Here's Sterling cutting a piece for the floor- in the background you can see Kent up on the roof @ Mom & Dad's. Dad finishing the last two rows of wood in the pantry. I filled in the holes in there since the boys had already left. Boy am I glad they were willing to come over and do the rest of the floor! I am too old for ground work- lol!
The pantry floor is done! Now I just need Kent to actually install the cupboards that are currently just sitting in there. Once that's done I'll load them up in no time... really- they'll be full. I've got 3 sets of dishes to fit in there.. Here's the slim pickings left after all was said and done with the wood. It might look alright in the picture, but they're not. Lot's of crooked cuts.. big holes, cracked wood and missing or not cut right tongue & groove parts. See the beautiful bathroom door I painted? It looks like a brand new door now. I love it! Plus Dad cut it down last night so it actually closes again! (it was being stopped by the wood flooring) Here's the closet in the hallway that I taped and the part you can see I spackled... Myrna did the rest.
So, all in all it was a FANTASTIC day with a lot being accomplished yesterday.
When I got home from work today Kent had finished the flooring in the closet so now the floor is completed installed!!! wahooo!! The wall to the left that you see is going to be cut out so I can have access to this closet from the bathroom. Dad and I went and got all of the supplies Monday night. So, I just need to sand and paint this closet and we can get started.
