More progress! Recently I had a couple meetings in town so I started off the morning with stopping by to go over flooring direction and how they were going to lay the random width boards. I stopped 2 more times – amazing how quick they work! The second stop was a bit of a snafu – there wasn’t enough flooring. Thank goodness a quick call to Peabody Flooring Supply yielded just enough left in stock that Remmy could run over and snap it up and finish the install in the same day! Oh renovations – what fun!

I know it looks like a mess – but at least by the end of the day all the wood was in and it looked this good:

I love the variation in color tone and the random board widths. I am SOOOOO beyond happy we didn’t settle for the carpet in the flooring allowance!  Still so much more to do but at least now it’s shaping up like a real space. Up next – shiplap boards on the half wall and eventually we’ll get the salvaged chicken wire windows up on the haf wall! (actually, not a ‘we’ll’ at all …. that will totally be my super talented carpenter husband figuring that one out!)

At the same time of the flooring being installed Bob & Al my tile guys were getting all the moroccan tile pieces cut so we could grout tomorrow!
