Well we are on the home stretch... I hope!
Flooring guys are here grinding/sanding the concrete floor of our kitchen, laundry room and bathroom..... tomorrow the new flooring gets installed .... yippppeeee!
just 1 more day (hopefully) and we won't have to live with dust... it is amazing how far dust can travel, even when everything including doorways is sealed off with plastic sheeting...
so come Sunday I will have my house back...
Windows replaced...
Drapes replaced ...
painting done...
Flooring replaced (almost) ...

I think I will celebrate with a big ginormous bar of dark 70% cocoa!

I hate the home repairs DURING the dust; the finished products are the prize.

Hooray Grace! It takes a lot of patience to get through a remodel. Sounds like you will have a new house Sunday. Enjoy it and pictures please when you get a chance.

SO HAPPY TO HEAR THIS Grace!!! I know when our house was being built and we lived in the tiny RV I was singing " They're Coming To Take Me Away Haha...hoho...hehe..."!!! lol, my mom played that song a lot while I was growing up. Even backwards! BUT....now that it's all done it's like giving birth, the pain is gone and the joy is immense! Thus it will be for you all as well!!! Pictures would be great! Happy Friday toots!

So I tried to take some photos of the flooring,,, either I am a rotten photographer or my camera is old and crappy,,, I am gonna blame it on the camera! lol!

it's a 'traverten' composite,,, and easy to maintain...

I have mopped it 3 times since yesterday,,, to make sure there is no dust anywhere... hmmm, maybe I am Type-A after all... lol!

Looks great Grace! I lived in our house while the edition was put on. Ugh! The plaster dust was awful. But all worth it in the end. Enjoy!

Love the new floor! I bet your happy to have it completed. I can't stop laughing about Princess Barksalot! I think I would name mine Princess Whinesalot! She's always whining.

April,,, this is actually a travertine looking floor,,, not concrete,.. altho my cousin did her den/gameroom by sanding the concret and coating it with a flooring type of paint... she loves it because she has her grandsons over all the time and she doesn't have to worry about the flooring.
