Last Friday we headed for Home Depot and picked up 12 more boxes of flooring and some trim we need for around the wood stove.
 |
| Our new floor, Sterling Gray is the color 😁 |
 |
| This is the floor we replaced. Still in really good condition after 10 years, but I wanted the kitchen and living room area to match. That grew to the hallway and laundry area 😀😀 |
Saturday we continued working on finishing the kitchen and got some firewood on the porch. With these cold temps, fire is needed in the house.
Sunday of course was Champagne Sunday so no work was done. LOL. I was really hoping we could enjoy the outdoor kitchen but it was way too cold to be outside.
 |
| Had the wood stove going all day. |
 |
| The making of Doc's cauliflower crust pizza. The olives are Ken's. Chicken, mushrooms, yellow onion, mozzarella cheese and a garlic ranch dressing |
 |
| Mine is the bottom half. So yummy! |
I wanted to recreate the pizza we had at Old Town Pizza with Jacob and Allissa. Turned out pretty good I have to say. Good enough that Ken has requested it again for the upcoming Sunday. 😁
This week has been spent on getting the living room completed and as of 1700 on Wednesday it's done! The only thing that's not is the trim around the wood stove as we will need a bigger quarter round. This flooring must not be as thick as the one we took out, even though this is a much better flooring.

| Getting the living room back to order. |
Today, Ken started on the hallway. It's looking good! Not a whole lot left to be done there. We will be making another trip to Home Depot to get some more flooring for the laundry room area and the 1/4 round molding.
Actually since we haven't been grocery shopping in about 2 weeks a stop at Walmart will be needed too. I've been avoiding going to Raley's, only if I am desperate. LOL.
We are both very happy with the way the flooring is turning out! Glad Ken was able to do it as he saved us a ton a $$. Now I've got money left for another project LOL.

| Cheryl's Birthday was the 13th. They sent this picture from a very cold Arkansas! They are still happy they made the move! |
 |
| Grand Nephew, Owen got to go see the Harlem Globetrotters. He sure is growing up😀 |

| Baby Phoenix at 11 months old 😁 |
Tomorrow is my sister Wendy and Daughter in law Christina's birthday! January is a definitely a busy month for birthdays in this family! 😀
Time for some more baseboard painting. Happy Hour when Ken's ready! Have a great evening!
Congratulations on doing your own flooring. It is tedious but rewarding work and think of all that money you saved! That pizza looks awesome, makes me want to make our own!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim! You're right about it being tedious and yes we did save $$. We are loving our pizzas! :)
DeleteWow ... that flooring looks really nice! That's a lot of work, but oh the money you save!! AND it's the same color as my rig floor. I LOVE IT!! And now I have to go buy a pizza!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, gotta admit I love it! Haha. Yeah gotta love pizza!
DeleteThe flooring looks great. Ken you are such a talented fella! The pizza looked amazing. It seems to be cold everywhere this year, although we are warming up. Happy Birthday to all the celebrating ladies, Cheryl, Wendy and Christina. January is a busy month in our family too with 8 birthdays.

Thankful Ken said he'd do the floor! He did an amazing job too! 8 birthdays, that is alot. WE've got one more on the 31st. :)
DeleteGreat job on the floor. I actually like the old as well but the newer colour is very nice. Looks the same as ours in our living area.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patsy. I loved the brown one too, but it shows everything! I'd mop, Ken walks in and there are sandy boot prints everywhere. After 10 years it was time for a change LOL.
