Week 16

Flooring was the highlight of this past week. Both the tile and laminate were completely installed. One day before the tile was set to be installed, we decided to have it heated. Our last-minute decision delayed the installation by a couple days, but we're positive warm tile will keep everyone happy (and warm) campers...especially during those 3AM bathroom runs!

Yesterday when we stopped by to check out progress on the laminate, we had all we could do to get inside the house. As a few of you probably heard or experienced, Owatonna was the recipient of an inch of freezing rain (not to mention multiple inches of snow). Walking from the car to the house was so difficult, that once we got close enough to the house to grab it, we had to use it as leverage to make it to the front door! We are anxiously awaiting the day when we can jet from warm, heated garage to house without various flights of stairs or tricky meteorological elements.

So, back to the laminate. The picture below shows the laminate in the kitchen (it's also in the foyer), but it is covered up at the current moment to protect it from the abuse of the construction crew. Still, you get an idea of where it is!





This is pretty much the only photo we can show of the color. We're psyched to see how it will look with the trim!
