Day 22

The flooring guys continued to make great progress, surprising since they only worked from 10 - 3. Jim suggested that the back-breaking, knee-straining nature of the work limits the time they can spend doing it. Anyway, it looks great and they promise to finish up in one more day.

The floor is gorgeous and we're very happy with it. Oddly, though, it does not have the impact that the other two big ticket items--the cabinets and granite--have. It's beautiful but not awe-inspiring. There's no "wow" factor like there was with the other installations, especially the granite. Maybe because a floor is just, well, a floor. It is simply the surface on which we'll move from one place to another. It is the blending element that turns the kitchen, eating area and family room into one big room. And a "blend," by definition, brings two or more elements together but has no specific identity on its own.
