Our home improvement project...

Our bland carpet... The nasty concret we found underneath...
The finished product!!

Sable says, "Where's the glorious, soft carpet?"
I have been wanting wood floors in our house for some time now, and I finally convinced R that it was a project we could do ourselves to save some money. So we found a good deal on the flooring, and as soon as we got back from our cruise, we started ripping up the carpet in our living room, dining room, and two hallways and replacing it with laminate flooring...over 600 sq. ft. of laminate flooring to be exact! We ended up working on it the entire week that we had alone here without the girls, and staying up till 2:00 a.m. the morning before we left to get them to finish up some details so it would be done when we got home with them!! R has said "never again" and I think I agree! It was a much bigger job than we expected it to be! But, we LOVE the floors and I am so happy to be rid of the carpet in the living room! Sable had some major difficulty walking on them at first...she was pretty much confined to her pillow when she was inside, but with a little practice she has gotten quite good at walking on them now...
