The weekend turned out to be very productive. Friday night CD picked up some wooden laminate flooring from Piersons Building Center (home of the big hammer!) It turns out the flooring has to acclimatize for 48 hrs before installation; that meant we had to wait until Sunday to start our dining area flooring adventure. Although we originally were going to go to the beach on Saturday, the weather wasn't as cooperative as they predicted, so we bought some paint for the office aka the guest bedroom. CD chose red. It still needs a second coat before it can be revealed to the world (read: pics soon).
Sunday we got really excited about the flooring. The project promised 
some ingenuity and use of power tools. Don't forget the golden rule: measure twice, cut once! We began by cutting back the vinyl and figuring out how to put the boards together. Although I thought that CD would pretty much do it by himself, we soon realized that he needed my help in snapping the boards together and holding them while he cut them with the circular saw. Safety first: put on your goggles! The project was a breeze and the results fantastic! We were really proud of ourselves and are looking forward to doing some dining AND dancing in the old rockwall-lodge.

so I opened a google account to write you. Might have to get myself a myspace to keep in better touch with you too. Listen Lady, I MISS YOU! And Mike feels so bad for not saying goodbye and having one last hoorah with yous. Anyway it will be good to see you guys next month. And good job on the floor and cabinets - so pretty.
Hey! That vinyl flooring you're peeling back is the exact kind we installed in the lab "clean room" back in '02...
The floor looks awesome. Nice paint job, too!
gorgeous! I can't wait to see my red room. Will I be camoflaged?
