We've been putting off doing our floors for an awfully long time and I finally realized I was just finding excuses because it meant doing work...I don't like procrastination so this weekend we bit the bullet and bought the pergo we've liked for 4+ months. I was able to get them to take an extra 10% off everything which really helped us stretch the budget (hey, every little bit counts). Since I was off today and I want to maximize our time this coming weekend I took it upon myself to do most of the prep work. Here are our before pics and after my prep.
Does anyone notice the ode to Dominic there on the wall?? I'm quite proud of my hubby and if having a football helmet in the living room and lifesized picture on the wall doesn't prove it I'm not sure what does.
Here is the first strip of carpet G-O-N-E it was at this point that I noticed that the floors seemed to be in great shape and I was thinking quite level but wasn't counting my chickens just yet.
I bet you're wondering why I hadn't moved that last dresser?? Well my friends I'm quite resourceful and will attempt just about anything on my own..but it's times like these that call for a strong husband. Dominic was so kind as to come home for lunch and move it for me...sorry but a HEAVY tv that high up was bound to hurt either me or eclair, god forbid it was eclair!
I can hardly believe I'm posting this but she sat for this shot all on her own...I'm sure she's not responsible for everyone one of those as the previous owners had 2 small dogs but certainly she's responsible for most of them...and this was a HUGE reason for getting new hard surface flooring.

See all those boxes on the left...that's my NEW FLOOR!
and the final after shot. That lamp is the only light in the room so it must stay. Now for the real question...should I paint the room before we get the floors in?? Oh, just realized we need to switch out the outlets too...good thing we have those in the garage already.
