The wood arrived today. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!! This is just some of it. In total, we had about 70 boxes of flooring delivered, and at about 80 lbs a box, getting this stuff upstairs to the great room (where it has to sit and acclimate to the room's humidity for a few days) was no easy feat!Luckily, the delivery guy was kind enough to bring about half the boxes up by himself. He was a huge ox of a man, who thought nothing of hoisting an 80 lb. box onto his shoulders 35 times in a row. Needless to say, we tipped him well. I helped David with the remainder of the boxes until I felt like my body was about to break, but luckily our friend John came over to relieve me just in the nick of time! He helped David with the majority of the boxes & we could not have done it without him. THANK YOU JOHN! You are a life (and back) saver!
After the wood delivery, we got back to work on pulling up the layer cake that is our kitchen, but we were both so physically wiped out, that we didn't get much done before we were both passing out from pain and exhaustion.
Tomorrow, we plan to start painting. And of course, David will keep working on those kitchen floors... (only two layers left...)
