like a whole new house

the new floor is so close to being done I can taste it!

here is the kitchen which they finished yesterday. (see the blue walls! the white patches are where the new cabinets will go next week.)

this was taken standing in the kitchen looking out into the great room. (the blue tape is holding down the planks they laid today until the glue dries.)

now Wes and Wayne are definitely in the homestretch! just these awkward angles around the front door and bathroom door and it's all done! next we'll have to put in new baseboards, but I think that should be much easier and faster than the whole floor installation. I am beyond thrilled right now and so incredibly thankful for Wes' willingness to do this for me and for Wayne's willingness to help!
