Day 20

Week 5 is and will be the most difficult week so far. This is flooring week. Inconvenience is no longer the word--total disruption is. We moved everything out of the family room, but since the living room is already our "temporary kitchen," there was hardly anywhere to go with it. Lighter things like lamps and stereo components went upstairs. Easy chairs, coffee table and end tables went into the dining room, which left the entryway for the sofa and stereo console.

The carpet came up with a little crowbar and knife action. Then the pad with much vacuuming and scraping. The new 1/4" underlayment covered the old subfloor. It looks nice and clean.

By the end of the day, more progress had been made on the tile backsplash.

It's all exciting, but I'm ready for it all to be over!
