Where have we been?!

Other than hiding out in the basement, there hadn't been a ton of progress on the house. We were (im)patiently waiting for our flooring to come out of the kiln and then be planed (all to the same 3/4" thickness) and tongue and grooved. 

I am happy to report that most of our flooring is done! Jake and I picked it up in 4 trips... There's no fancy boxes or packaging with this floor! Just random widths and lengths all piled into a trailer and carried into the house 3-4 pieces at a time.

Our installer was here bright and early Saturday morning and this morning (even with the time change!) and the "big room" consisting of the kitchen, dining and great room is all installed!

We LOVE it!!!

We are so happy with the random width look. There are a total of 6 widths ranging from 3"-10" and lengths from 4' to 14'. 

We've left the knot holes, worm holes, nail holes and some minor cracks to keep the character that we love so much. Before we sand the floors we'll fill the bigger knot holes with a coloured epoxy so there are no tripping hazards! 

That's about it in terms of progress on the house! We've been painting trim and doors for what seems like forever... But we're almost done! And once the floors are in, all of our trim work can be finished. It would be kind of nice to have a door on the bathroom! 

We have quite a bit of touch up paint to do before we move everything in too. Tatum has already managed to write on 3 of her bedroom walls with an Allen key! I really thought she would have grown out of this by now... I guess not!
