Sunday we picked up our untreated wood floors from Lumber Liquidators for our kitchen. We weren’t intending to start the kitchen renovation until the following weekend, but we were a bit anxious to demo the kitchen. We tried getting our hands on some salvaged wood at Construction Junction, but the lots were either too small or too large, so we had to settle for buying new.

Sunday night we started ripping out some of the linoleum and sub flooring just to see what we were getting into for the next day. Oh, and when I say “we” through this demo section, I really mean Matt…someone had to watch the kids:)Monday was a full day of floor demo with removing flooring, appliances and base cabinets to make way for the new floors. Tuesday evening the new floors started to go in and by Wednesday evening the floors were completely installed. Total time from demo to laid floors was about two full days because Tuesday and Wednesday were just a couple hours each evening. Now on to staining the floors…. building the concrete molds and setting the concrete for the countertops….building all new open wall shelving….and painting!!!!!

Our work in progress….
