We’ve been camping for the last week and will be leaving for another week tomorrow. Thought I would quickly post some pictures.
The last days of June and first days of July were a scramble. We wanted the flooring in the kitchen to match that in the rest of the main floor, but nobody sells that kind of flooring any more. We had to call around and then pay twice as much as for other hardwood to get our matching 2″ oak flooring. On top of that, we had to sand and finish it ourselves. With our uneven floors, installing it was a challenge. This was almost a full day’s work.
As is often the case when you try something for the first time, you get the hang of it about the time that you are finishing it. I learned a few things along the way and the rest of the floor went in much quicker. I was also dealing with a gimpy back. On the day I was sanding the drywall I woke up with a sore back and could hardly bend over far enough to put my socks on. Fortunately, it got bit better each day and allowed me to finish what I had to do before the cabinets came.
The cabinets were delivered on Tuesday after the long weekend. Although the installer still needs to come back to fix one or two things, we are really pleased with them. We think they look great.
We managed to decide on countertops before we left to camp with the Friesens and ordered them on Tuesday. Today I spent most of the day fiddling with under-cabinet lighting.
