oh, yeah, so we pulled up all of the carpets in the living room and dining room. my wife's sister had laminate floors put in, so natch we had to get them too. pergo, 30 year guarantee, medium oak, with sound resistance on the underside. we put down a vapor barrier (house is on a concrete slab) with a 3/8" pad attached to it.

the floor is supposed to have 1/8" gap around the outside so it can move if it needs to (normal give and take of flooring). so i got elected to do the finish work. been a long time since i've had a hammer in my hand. i got all of the baseboards (all new material) down and was finishing up the thresholds (also new) when she got home from work yesterday.

the only thing left is the threshold for the front door, which i am working on today. i'm making it out of a piece of 3/4" maple so it will take the abuse of the traffic coming in the front door. it's been an interesting experience.
