The floor is coming along...

Remember this was week before last. The guys worked hard every day to get that floor in and it came along slowly. Apparently with a sub-floor they could have had it in in 2 weeks...but with an old, very uneven concrete foundation it takes closer to 3 weeks! :)

They started in the office then moved over to the laundry room and kitchen and then continued to snake eastward to the other end of the house. Here you can see it down the hall all the way to the hall bath and then 1/2 of the master.


























Week-end before last New Ryan even came in on the week-end to work on it. Then the unthinkable happened. Last Tuesday they realized they were gonna be short. No big deal, they had two guys up in the city anyway so they could just swing by and pick some up, right? Well, the Lumber Liquidators in the city was out and it was backordered for several weeks! Uh oh. Then they called Tulsa. They didn't have enough. The store spent some time tracking it down and the closest store that had any was in Sherman, Texas! The frustrating part was that they literally only had Genevieve's room left to go and even if they could get the wood that day, it still had to sit in the house for 48 hours to adjust to the temperature and humidity! Grrrrr. Just as Brandon was about to drive to Sherman, the store said they had a truck coming to OKC and they could get it to us the next day by noon. All was not lost and they finished G's room by the end of the week, but man! It's always somethin'!
