Never Thought I'd See the Day

Isn't it beautiful? The first few pics are after one night of laying wood...

We're gluing it down instead of that whole vapor barrier/pad thing and the sound is sooo much better.

Dad, Bret, and Erik are doing the bulk of the work. I'm good at opening boxes and separating the pieces (they come stuck together for packaging). Mom's job was standing on pieces that needed a little encouragement and handing pieces to the guys. We made the process go a whole lot faster : )

This is where we ended tonight:

We picked the carpet and got a great deal because, well, we have connections. : )

We'll go Saturday and fill out the paperwork and get the ball rolling. We also hope to get the mantel painted while we're out there by dad's shop.

And of course, the rest of the wood floor ; ) But we're taking a rest tomorrow night for some margaritas.
