Hi everyone,
I just have to share my good news. =)
It was a completely impulsive project that we did out of absolutely nowhere but are so glad we did.
My hubby is a contractor and was at a job site where the guy who owned the house had put brand new flooring in. It was laminate wood flooring that literally just clicks together - the easiest stuff to install! Well, he came home to tell me about it and how inexpensive it was. I totally didn't believe him so I called the store he (the owner) claimed to get it from and sure enough.. $1.11/sq ft!!!! I was shocked. So, even though this was a $500 project and several days worth of work- we were out the door about an hour later buying the stuff. Well, here are before and afters. I couldn't be happier- the carpet was SOOO nasty and had no idea how bad it was until it was ripped up. There were two layers so it took us longer.
First pic is the only one I have that shows the room more than others.. but you'll get to see my 8 yr old and hubby in it.
Also, we took the bar area out you see in the background (only used it for storage.. as you can see- we need a lot of that! hehe). We still need to take the roof off but that wasn't critical to get the floor done.
Second, I couldn't help it - this is one of the million pics I took of the cats while working on the floors. Ha, my older son (the one in the pic) put up a sign that said, "Listen Mommy" because I was playing with the cats the whole time.
The cats found a bug in this pic.
I'm going to post the after pics on my next post so all the pics aren't on one.
These pics I saved at 50% of their original size- so they're really small. The next ones I'll do at 75% so they're easier to see.
