COMPLETELY FLOORED!

 Chase is enjoying one last early morning romp on the polyester shag carpeting. 

 I'm fixing breakfast surrounded by furniture in the dining area...2 couches, 2 chairs and the big Danish TV cablinet.

 The installers from Completely Floored arrived by 8:30 and had the carpet and pad pulled out very quickly. They even fixed the squeaks where the rehab folks didn't replace the old particle board.  

 This lovely green stuff is called "THE MUFFLER." It muffles noise and eliminates that hollow sound you can get with flooring. 

 By lunchtime they were half way done. That gizmo with the long handle cuts the board ends squarely and neatly but you still get a whole bunch of sawdust by the end of the day. They kept their table saw outside. 

Say hello to Evoke Heritage Plank Oak from the Au Naturel Collection . No shiny stuff for us! This has a low sheen or satin finish. And we now have the finishing touch of baseboards! Didn't have 'em before...
There is no funky goo around the rock base of the hearth either...they cut the boards to fit the rock perfectly. 
We're impressed and loving it!
