The floor is getting fixed!

The floor is finally getting done.  Actually it is our kitchen floor, our teeny (4 x 4)  back hall floor and our equally teeny bathroom floor.  We are adding in the bathroom, the hall floor was considered part of the original quote.  The bath floor is 20 yrs old and we even all ready had purchased tile to re-do it.  About 3 yrs ago.  The boxes of tile have been living under our armoire in our front hall.  I just couldn't face pulling the toilet to do the floor.  Now I remember why.  6 people and only one bathroom which happens to be on the second floor.  Fun times, as they say.  LOL

But it is going to be gorgeous.  Yesterday they ripped out all the old flooring and installed about 1/2 of the kitchen.  They could have done more but found that the plywood was still damp in significant areas.  They cut out a piece of the plywood to test for mold growth or standing water between the older floor and the floor we are replacing. (our house was built in 1835) Thankfully that test was fine but the contractor recommended running 3 fans on the floor last night to dry it out and a dehumidifier.  So we did all those things and the wood feels dry this a.m.  So hopefully they finish. Then the toilet gets put back and life will resume its usual chaotic path! 

Actually, the kids have been really good about the house being changed up.  Most of the kitchen is in other rooms in the house so it can be hard to find things that we need.  Also we can't eat breakfast at the kitchen island so they have had to eat in the dining room. (which we do at supper but never breakfast!)  But all in all, we are coming along fine in the latest renovation.
