Flooring

**********

Some of the flooring has gone in on the ground floor.  We are quite pleased with the look.

 

As you can see, the flooring closely matches the staircase.

A thick underlayment makes it comfortable underfoot.

The elevator cab is installed and functioning.  The flooring needs to go in and a few other touches need to be completed, but it is nice to get it up and working.

The installers will finish the downstairs this week and with luck will be able to complete the upstairs floor as well.

They have given us a week to get as much as we can up off the floor in the old part of the house, so they can rip out the old, nasty carpeting and install the new laminate there as well.  It will be disruptive for the next couple of weeks, but I'm glad they have arrived at this point.

I hate having to pack things up again, but this should be the last time.  Once I unpack it all again, I expect it to stay that way!

Also this week, the electrician should be here to install lighting fixtures, receptacles, and switches. The trim guy should finish most of his work, and the painters should start on the exterior and complete their work inside.  I'm not holding my breath, though.
