Finally....our AHA moment

For the last few months (ok, I counted, 126 days) we have had Pergo sitting in boxes in the garage. It was waiting for someone to cut it, pop it down, and love it with all their heart. But no, we couldn't be bothered to take the time. And so it sat.....so very lonely, in a corner of the garage, through the blizzard, the heat, and the rain. Finally, a friend offered her husband and son in law to us for the whole weekend at no charge because she knew if she didn't, I might explode with excitement over my floor never getting done. AHA! FINALLY! And so we went from this.....


(concrete floors....a few hours of ripping up carpet and tack strips on Friday night.....)




To this.....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!




And this....


While we aren't totally done (next weekend is toe strip installation) it's down and livable, and we are thrilled with the outcome. Next we rip up the hardwood entry and tile it. Sounds weird, but hardwood against Pergo, even super similar in color just isn't working for me so far. Gotta love house projects.
