New floors!

I have needed to put down new floors for some time now but was waiting for funds. This year's tax refund is going to put new floors down in my kitchen, living room and loft. Weekend before this past we found just what I was looking for - with the help of some friends who have a Sam's Club card. :)

Aubri is also cleaning out her room to paint it so she has piled some of her stuff on and around the flooring.

So this past weekend, Bill pulled up the old carpet in the living room.

And the old linoleum in the kitchen.

Haven't seen these floors since we were building the place almost 16 years ago! We found that the kitchen floor was put down right over the top of the construction dirt - yes, we have 16 year old dirt ground into the sub floor. Don't you just love subcontractors and cheap builders!

We will be pulling the cabinets next week when we actually lay the new floor but in order to not have the kitchen closed all week he just cut around them for now. So - next weekend the new floor will be installed - stay tuned for more pictures!
