8 years later....

For those of you who don't know - I hate my kitchen floor... well actually if you know me you probably know that I hate my kitchen floor - I think I have told everyone who I have ever talked to or who has been to my house. In fact now that I think about it, the first thing I said to Bill after we moved in was, we have to do something about this floor.. it was nasty white laminate and it was VERY hard to clean... did I mention we live on a dirt road??? So... just before Thanksgiving I had a meltdown and told Bill it was time - I had waited long enough the floor had to go - either we were doing it together or I was doing it alone it was up to him...

I'm pretty sure Bill wishes he would have picked option B, but instead he chose option A and we went shopping... we found some bamboo floor that we both had to have, then the fun began. Lets just say we are not floor installers nor will we ever be. We thought we had to glue it down so we bought this ridiculously priced $120 thing of glue and we were all set to get started - after hours of ripping up the old floor, but lucky for us Greg Peck stopped by and saved us from ourselves... (you have to nail down the floor)

So one long weekend, a lot of nails, a bruise from walking into the maul when Bill was swinging it, one trip to the hospital (Bill is allergic to Bamboo), and a very sore and tired Bill & Traci .. the floor is finally DONE! So now I don't hate my floor any more I LOVE IT and think it is the best floor ever!.... so here it is... before and after...
