New Floor, New Floor

Y'all! The floor was installed today and it looks so good!

We got it to match in the front entryway also (forgot to get pics of that, oops) and it looks amazing.

And in a day or so when the bathroom is finished, I'll get that posted as well!

Tearing out some floor

The time has come for us to finally do some work on the house. Since the dreaded house flood of Thanksgiving, we've needed to replace the basement floor. We finally got around to it (And by that I mean, the company we've been trying to use FINALLY decided to get back to us on the install) and since we were doing the bathroom we were like, might as well do the kitchen, since the kitchen floor is also horrible. Since it would save us $500 in the install, we tore the floor out ourselves.
Naturally, as is custom with this house, the job turned out much harder than we originally anticipated. When we tore out the floor, we found that instead of them tearing out the floor when they installed the tiles, they just ... placed it on top of the linoleum floor in the kitchen. Just........why?! So that made things so much harder and take so much longer, oy. but! Here's what the floor looked like after the floor was torn up:

Excited to see what it looks like when its done!

Renovations

I’m not sure if I’ve blogged about this before, because I blogged about a lot of things near the end of the world, but that’s ok. Before Christmas, Husband started to renovate the bathroom on our main floor. He just decided to, out of the blue, and he said he could do it cheaper than it would cost to hire someone. I’m sure that’s true and everything, but it just about sent me over the edge. The “2 weeks” it originally was going to take was almost 2 months – 2 months of the bathroom being out of commission, and 2 months of stuff permeating every inch of free space down there. Finally, we had to have the bathroom finished, having the baby shower last weekend, because that’s what people needed to use, plus no one wants things to look awful when you have strangers over! So finally, he finished, and it ended up looking really good. Of course, I didn’t even think to take ‘before’ pictures, so you’ll just have to settle for the ‘after’.

I took a panoramic pic of the bathroom, so you could see the whole thing at once, and one of the floor:

And now, it’s all finished, and finally, people can use it, and the house doesn’t smell like grout, or adhesive, or any of that stuff, and I’m so happy.
