Weekend Three- Floors are starting to go down!!! :)

We finally have some floors down!!!! We are no where near done but seeing the new floor going down is definitely encouraging for Rick since getting to this point has been quite the learning process so far. By Friday Rick has all the demo done which was a huge feat. All of the old floor and grimy carpet that I hadn't been thrilled with for the last 3.5 years was gone.

On Saturday Rick was about to start laying some floor and as has been par for the course with this project he hit another set back and needed yet another tool! The circular hand saw we had was just not going to cut it, literally, on this kind of job. Thankfully we are blessed with some handy friends and family that have generously lent us their tools so we didn't have to invest in yet another tool and spend more money. Thanks to our friend Butch and Rick's brother Jim who hooked us up with some table saws that we will put to good use for the next couple of weeks.

Ryan even helped out today as Rick got into his groove and starting banging away on those floors. We were very impressed with how strong Ryan was and the fact that he could hit the mallet on the blind nailer and nail several nails into the wood. So all in all about 10 rows of floor went down (yeah!!!!) and they look amazing!

I have to thank Rick for putting up the videos on the blog as well as all the hard work he's been doing recently!
