The Floors are done!

But Joel and I can not take all of the credit....

Last week Joel found out that he was getting a promotion (he will now be a Trust Advisor, with his own book of clients) and gets to work in an office that is 9 miles from our house (his commute was 28 miles). After much celebration he decided to give our contractor/neighbor a call and have his guys come finish the floor. They finished the remaining 400 square feet in half a day. Whew! Joel is willing to give up some of the more labor intensive jobs to contractors in the future, and would like to more actively pursue woodworking (which he is currently doing in the form of a trellis for our front yard).

Most importantly---Sammy thinks the hardwoods are just as good for napping as the old carpet.
A few before and afters:





















These are a little dark, but you get the idea






We are really pleased with the way they turned out!

Jason and I are just in awe at all of the improvements to your home that you have undertaken yourselves. No doubt that takes a lot of talent and time. We are thinking that maybe you all can come and do our house next? Your home looks absolutely lovely!
