When we arrived home on Saturday night, this is the sight that greeted us in our family room.

On Monday, a day's hard work by Michael and his off-sider gave us this:

The floorboards are pre-distressed so those marks are meant to be there - they just catch the light in strange ways. It will all settle quickly; all the rougher patches smooth out with constant traffic!

The timber floor had been ripped up and only the underlay was left!

Michael's vehicle is in for a service so the old floor is waiting to be taken away!

Looking good, Lynne. You'll be pleased to have it done.Fixing things like that and doing renovations cause a lot of mess.
ReplyDeleteNow I've been here almost five months, I'm starting to think about my kitchen. It's small and tired. This was a rental property for ten years. Cupboards are in reasonable condition . New cupboards? New doors? Paint door? New tiles on wall? Will think carefully before I act. It's only tiny and I find some of the cupboards inconvenient as I'm short and they're high.
The floor is fine, about the only thing I wouldn't touch.
Beautiful choice on the flooring-so very rich and inviting. Glad that it is behind you (well except for the mess)
ReplyDeleteNice to see it is finally resolved after several months. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It looks great!! Bet you're glad it's done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Now you have to break it in with bits of thread and yarn. It isn't he until you drop a few pins on it!
