Kitchen - new wood floor!

Our original intent was to use the original oak floor, which you may remember was under tile and plywood and linoleum glue.  But, it had a million nails pounded in from some other floor that had been used.  It was just unusable.

So we put in a new dark oak floor to match some of the boards in our existing family room and dining room wood floors.

 There are times when things click - although these floors where nailed.  After we figured out how to make the transition from the dining room and keep things square, we started rolling.  ML was outstanding at laying the boards out with staggered ends.  That meant that I could just hit the nailer and not think - something I can do.  On the bottom of the picture, you can see she's laid out a couple of rows for me to move over and nail in.




In a very long day, we got it finished and the nailer rental back to Home Depot before they closed at 9 p.m.   We were smart enough to stop for a beer and hamburger on our way home.
