I know I promised about 3 or 4 days ago that I would update the site with hopefully pictures of our nice new floor.As you can tell this didn't happen.
Our contractor came to my work on Friday morning and breaks the news to me that our floors were not done properly.
DAMN.....was my first thought.Why would they be done right by somebody who apparently knows what he is doing.That would only make things easier.
So our contractor tells me that he can't hang the doors or do the trim with the floors the way they were.He also tells me that once we start to put furniture and some weight on the floor,the boards will start to pop and crack.
Not good I thought.
He then tells me that he would pull up the floors and put them back in at no charge.Which was great because he saved me from having to tell the other guy that it was done wrong and he had to redo it.Since the other guy who was doing our floors really hates our contractor,this probably would not have gone over too well I am thinking.
Anyway our contractor returned on Saturday and pulled up all the floors in the new part and then re-did them the correct way.
And what a difference.You can really tell from when they were first done to what they look like now.It just looks totally different.
I did take some pictures, but you can't tell in the pictures because I would have had to take some close ups of the floor at both stages.The incorrect way and the correct way.I didn't do that because I didn't think anything was wrong in the first place.
So that is were we sit right now and we also have a couple of doors hung and some trim up.
Now all that is left is the floors in the old part,which our contractor will do and the rest of the trim as well.Also the new bathroom needs to be done and then we can move in.
I think????
Sooooooooooooo, do you think you'll be in for Christmas? I'm just kidding for sure you will be and you will have almost a brand new house with more space and a newer look, it'll be great.
ReplyDeleteTalk to you soon, Diane
Well,it's been slow go the last few weeks.I think we will be in for Christmas, but just how organized the house will be is another question.But the main thing will be just getting in the house,the rest we can figure out later.Yes the house looks so different,it is great.We can't wait for the rest of the floors to go in that will really bring the look together.
