I Am Just So "Board".....

In the last "renovation that is taking a lifetime" installment, we were deciding on which wood to use for the floor. While I was strongly in favor of the Guinness Oak (partly because it would have been done by now) after talking it over with The Hub, the Granary Oak is the winner. It is beautiful, very distressed looking with lots of saw marks and worm holes...just what we were hoping for!







Without going into all of the gorey details, the wood was delivered...and put in the family room.
Of course, this all had to be un-bundled (?) and moved upstairs to the living room. Yea...why not?? It had to be spread out and stacked just a certain way to allow it to adjust to the climate in our house. No, seriously.....





So, The Hub moved it all and stacked it just so...and installation begins tomorrow!! Or, so they tell us. The installation crew was here most of today doing the prep work and that must mean installation is really going to happen, right?





And, that's where we are. Should take the rest of the week to install and finish and then we move on to carpet and base boards! Yay.
