Happy Friday! For most of the team today, it was flooring day. One flooring team worked on the Kitchen/Living Room/Hallway, another worked on Master bathroom and the third (our team) worked on one of the bedrooms . The master bedroom and third bedroom will be carpeted, which made our job a bit easier.
The first task was to scrape the debris off the floor (there were quite a few plaster drips from the mudder), and vacuum thoroughly. The flooring is a very good quality. The Habitat Restore was able to get a 50% discount from Home Depot, which made it affordable. Bob showed us how the flooring snaps together, and how to start the first strip. After we got the first row set, he put in some temporary screws in – so that the floor stayed stationary during installation. It is a floating floor, so once the floor is in, we will have to remember to take those screws out.
Joe is very strong …. look what he did to the rubber mallet 😉
We didn’t quite finish the bedroom today, so we will be joining the rest of the team tomorrow morning (Saturday) to try to get the flooring finished.
Below re some pictures of the progress from the living room and bathroom flooring teams.
While the flooring teams were hard at work, there was another team painting the front and rear doors. The painted doors were reinstalled at the end of the day, and look great!
No extra sleep for us tomorrow – we are starting again at 8AM!
Every day is a larning experience for us observers. We could not do what you make look easy. Its not easy but you do it so well. That is a great looking floor. It will wear well. Its another great day and another wonderful accomplishment.
You guys are doing a great job! I bet it’s a lot harder than it looks . We are enjoying watching your progress . We bet you are learning a lot ! This is a great service you are doing!
The floors loo great. Another milestone and closer to the completion. There is always OT towards the end of a project, the end date is the end date — oops there I go again a flashback to BR (Before Retirement). It looks fantastic.
I love the flooring!
