Al(most) Done

I'm a couple grand poorer this evening, but have some grand new floors.

The new wood-look laminate, tiles and carpet are all completely installed in their appropriate places on the upper floor of our house.

Laminate in the Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room and Bedrooms. Tile in the Bathroom. Carpet on the stairs.

While the contractor did a great job putting everything in, he didn't do such a great job cleaning up afterward. Everything's covered in sawdust.

So tonight, Der Deutscher and I will buy a swiffer and start cleaning up. We're also taking this opportunity to revamp the look.

We've already gotten rid of about a third of the books in our bookcases. No mean accomplishment when you consider we had our bookcases triple, and in some cases quadruple, stacked.

We're looking at buying a new bookcase to replace the oldest one as well as getting a storm door to keep the rain from sneaking in under the backdoor.

And, we're looking at re-arranging what goes where in the upstairs area.

When alls said and done we should have the house put back together to our satisfaction by the end of the week. Whether that means in time for the weekend or by the end of the weekend, I'm not sure.
