Yesterday ... we finished the hardwood floors - it only took 7 days!!
Don't be alarmed if we don't seem as excited about it as even we thought we would be...
we are tired, sore and tired.
What did we learn...
1. Buy the widest boards you can find - we went with 2.25" and although it looks amazing now...
it was slow and steady
oh and did I mention we are tired & sore
2. Get a hot tub (or borrow your neighbors) - as it was the only thing that kept us moving - literally!
3. Knee pads or a floor cushion is a must - your knees will thank you for it
4. A good pair of gloves - after 7 days neither of us has any slivers or blisters
(the gloves didn't protect my one finger from a rouge hammer meets finger incident however)
In other news...
We watched the google car driver dude take off his black knee high nylons while filling in fuel this morning
(yes, they were likely compression socks, but with shorts and sandals ??)
maybe he should have "googled" the success of such an outfit prior to leaving the house
and for fun we took the new bridge on our way home - it felt like we were somewhere else!!
as opposed to being "exactly where we were"
Well back to work... have a great weekend!!
