This is still messy, but it shows the nice "wood" and how it looks with some of our furniture. I'll be putting things back for many days . . . but i am determined that this is a good time to get things sorted out nicely and not clutter it up too much again!

I thought this might be the hardest part we did in our living/dining room, but it wasn't. The black edges are sticky, so they stick to the next piece we lay down. Larry's been really good about getting the seams to go together tightly.

Here is one solid strip from the sliding glass door in the dining room to the front door. Our plan is to move the furniture off an area, we clean it up really good, and then put flooring dowm there. then we slide the furniture a little more, and do it again.

You can see we haven't done the edge of the wall are yet, but we'll get it later.

Here is the very beginning of our project. It's vinal flooring---very easy to put in, can cut it with only a knife (no extra tools to buy), and we got 28 boxes within our budget. I think we're really going to make it happen. :-)

Lar and I are on a working vacation. He's off this week as the kids are off at camp. And I'm working on Tuesday, but off the rest of the week. We've been enjoying just being a couple again---or at least I have. :-) Larry can leave a comment if he feels otherwise.

We have not had a whole week alone since J was born---in 1995!
:-) I feel like a different person. :-) In a good way.
