schedule? WHAT schedule?

It’s Day 1 of our floor installation weekend. Acutally, we’re halfway through day 1. Ask me how much we’ve done. GO AHEAD, ASK ME!!!

We don’t even have the stuff taken to storage yet. The carpet it still in place. The condo is a mess.

Now ask me why we are so far behind.

WE BOUGHT MORE FLOORING!

*insert cackling maniacal laughter*

Yes, in our spare bedroom is stacked the 600 square feet of the 69 cent/sq foot flooring we bought earlier in the week. But last night, we’re watching TV, and a commercial came on for a flooring warehouse. I am half out of it, but Kev is somewhat paying attention.
“Did they just say wood laminate flooring for 49 cents a squre foot?”

“huh, wha?”

We check out their website, and yes indeed, laminate flooring for 49 cents. But are they way outside the perimeter? Up in the burbs? Well, yes, but then there’s also one REALLY close. Right off the I85 access road - about a 10 minute drive. So yeah, it’s worth it. Overall it would save us over $120. It’s at least worth a check out, to see if it’s comparable to the Ikea flooring.

And…it is! In fact, it’s NICER than the Ikea flooring. It’s a better interlock system, and it’s contructed a little nicer. And it’s a cherry wood finish - much more realistic looking than the Ikea stuff.

We bought it. In fact, we bought MORE so we can go ahead and do the entryway and kitchen.

It’s now stacked in our bedroom, and now we’re completely wiped out from lugging it around. And we still have to haul stuff to storage. And goodwill. And move furniture around so that we can pull up the carpeting. And PRAY that what we find underneath the carpeting isn’t horrifying.
