Floors!)

We had talked to a bunch of wood floor installers and everyone's bid was just too high.  We had the material, we had the glue, the room is basically a rectangle and the stone Mason undercut the mortar so you could just measure to go right up underneath.  Bob and I had resigned to do it ourselves.  We'd done our wood floors at the old home, this was a bit different. Instead of nailing it gets glued down.  We didnt really want to do it but if push came to shove we certainly could.  But at the 9th hour a local guy came forward with a price that was perfect and so they started on Monday, today is Wednesday and they will be done by Friday. 

Very happy with it.  Its a random pattern and I love the variations in the wood coloring.  You cant see it in the pictures but closer inspection of the actual boards and you see ripples and dips so it mimics real wood boards.  Which is exactly what we were going for.  

I've also heard from the concrete stain guy and he starts on Monday.  Whoop!

This is what we are shooting for.
