Kitchen Floor Day Two

Once we got home from church, we went right to work on the floor.

This is what we started with. 

And here is how it looks after just a couple of hours

We had to lay down the foam pad and get the secured with a tack hammer. Then we hauled some of the packages from the living room into the kitchen.

Susan is keeping on eye on which boards we are using.  In order to avoid repeats. There seems to be five different patterns that appear on the flooring planks and they can look different depending on where the pattern lands on the board.

All in all, we are pretty happy with the progress and it seems to be pretty easy to lay the flooring down.

We have the other half of the kitchen plus the pantry to finish and we have decided to wait for Shaun to help us with that. There are lots of cuts to make and we want them to be made correctly.

So we have decided to reward ourselves with a little dinner out at Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant, just up the hill from us. We could walk there and we would if it was more summery. But the walk home would be chilly and I like to avoid discomfort wherever possible.
