New Floors

We spent most of the weekend laying Pergo in the dining nook, hallway and entry way. Actually installing Pergo is pretty easy. It's kinda like a game of Tetris. The hard part is getting rid of the existing floor and prepping/leveling the floor. Luckily Greg did the hard part. =)

I actually wanted to help get rid of the ceramic tile in the entryway. But I left to run an errand and when I came back, it was gone! Boy, that was fast. Apparently, Greg covered the tile with an old bed sheet (to prevent the ceramic shards from flying everywhere) and then went to town on the floor with a sledgehammer. Then he just shoveled up all the broken pieces into a trash can.

During all this remodeling, Tachi has been wandering around downstairs trying to figure out what the heck we're doing to his home. He's got less space to roam because the family room and dining room have been invaded by Pergo planks, a dining table, chair and bookcases. Plus there's all sorts of strange noises (loud banging and sawing) coming from the dining nook, hallway, entryway and outside. I'm not sure how much he's going to like the new floor. It's definitely not as comfy or cushy as carpet, but it is cooler.
