Getting Back on Track
Almost finished putting up the wainscotting in the bathroom, but i'm missing just a few more panels to complete the wall.
On Sunday I started the floors! Woohoo. Not as bad as i thought it was going to be. Once you get the first few rows in, it gets easy. There's enough weight to the floor that it doesn't move around so you can just click in a board and keep going. I wish i had better pictures to show you, but it was dark outside and i only had my blackberry. Didn't know that the flash was that bad... it seems so bright, but i guess not.
Going back again today to lay more floor. Tomorrow my countertops come and then i can (maybe) start laying floor down in the kitchen. It's so nice when things start going in the right direction again. You should have seen the state of the plywood where the floors are now on Saturday. They were covered in tiles with wet adhesive and dust from sanding the stuff that did actually dry.
So nice!

Saturday was soent scraping tiles and re-tiling the bathroom wall, as the adhesive was bad and didn't dry, as mentioned in the last post. After all that hardwork, I'm finally moving forward.
