Two projects left, flooring and siding...

The siding, well that deserves a post all to its self...

The flooring however is turning out really nice, we bought the brazilian koa from lumber liquidators, its expensive but since its on cement and not being glued down we needed a engineered non laminate (dogs, kids and their various accidents ruined our last laminate floor so not doing that again) flooring, so far so good. After 4.5 hours of work here's what it looks like:




Finally (and mostly accidentally) remembered to take a before picture.. this is the cement flooring before we got the hardwood, and what we have been dealing with for the last month. But stefan you say, what about the humdidity... well two things, one that is drywall dust on the floor, and its not sticking, its just floating around, so probably no water problems... two see the greenish yellow crap? Thats the foam backing which acts as a vapor barrier, and three its engineered not solid, so its designed to expand with a little moisture, so, we're covered...

Now for the siding....
