Flooring

This weekend, Trevor and my dad laid the hardwood floor in the kitchen and dining room. It looks fabulous, but Trevor says he is still sore because, as he put it, laying hardwood is not tough, but it is, and I quote, a lot of time "on your knees, on your butt, or bent over" (I hope this doesn't somehow, through the magic of technology, link to one of those undesirable websites as a result of that inimitable quotation...). He put up the light fixture in the kitchen, and now, it's a matter of woodwork, and a few paint touch-ups. The cabinet people are coming in 2 weeks to finish their part. Everyone seems to think we need to do something with the window, too. We will do the rest of the trim and we can call it done!!

Here are the almost final views from the usual angles: North, WNW and WSW.

Although there is not much left to do, I plan to blog here as things, infrequently, happen. I also have big plans for the rest of the house, which, as I have mentioned, will happen when or if we no longer have dogs who require the carpet for traction. I'll keep you posted.
