Ordered the flooring----of course Lowes doesn't have it in stock so it'll be a couple of weeks until it comes in.

The installers did come on the fourth as they were supposed to. I think I can do a better job. They did NOT cut under the door frames and did NOT unscrew the threshold at the door. I'll have to find a way to fix that over the long weekend. I have two steps to install, stain and varnish too. (They will be a different color). It isn't tooooo slippery but the cats have wiped out a couple of times already. Samson (dog) makes a lot of noise with his long nails.

I have already re-installed the baseboards. I'll do all of the quarter round at one time after it's all done.

I'll be sure to buy a special blade for my jigsaw. I also have a 4 inch circular saw I'm going to try.

Funny note:
I have three dogs. Bella likes to get in the front window and scratch the window wildly at the squirrels. Her nails make quite a racket. Twice this weekend I yelled at her to cut it out, only to find her at my side in the kitchen. Turns out Samson was just walking across the new floor and it sounded EXACTLY the same. Bella thinks I'm nuts.

I did take before and after pictures, but I haven't downloaded them from the camera yet.
