And here it is installed in my sewing room - yummy. It's all installed in the guest bedroom and master bedroom too. That's pretty much half of the house. After admiring the floor for two nano seconds, we (they) moved all the furniture and stuff (and I mean stuff) from the living room, family room, kitchen into the finished side. Whew...
Here's a pic of my contractor, Zack, lining everything up prior to floor installation in the master bedroom. He has done a fabulous job for me. The yellow stuff on the floor is a moisture barrier. In Florida the hardwood has to be installed over cement, so this yellow stuff goops out and is troweled on the floor and then sets up like a vinyl covering. It's some really cool (stinky) stuff.
And I needed new tile in a bathroom and laundry room. The hardwood is so thick that we needed to make up the difference in height and this did the trick.
Zack is painting the living room, family room and kitchen this week along with installing new tile in the kitchen. New countertops are scheduled for installation on Friday. And next week...the rest of the floors.
I have my computer back and have nested myself in the sewing room with fiber and TV. Could life get any better?? (Stitch progress and Crazy Zauberball sock progress pics soon.)

Oh wow! I love those wood floors - beautiful! You're really going the whole nine yards with this renovation -- so exciting! Can't wait to see more pictures. :D So you're into this Crazy Zauberball or whatever it's called yarn too, huh? Kim mentioned it on her blog too. Can't wait to see your stitching and knitty progress!
Looks delicious!

Cari - the teak flooring is gorgeous - simply marvelous! I know you will be excited when you have your space back and what a space it will be. I saw the Zauberball at our LYS on Friday but I resisted - YEAH ME! However I could not pick up one of those new Lantern Moon silk boxes fast enough LOL - Enjoy the holiday! Mel
It looks great, Cari! You must be so psyched. Enjoy it!
