So much flooring

This weekend, we really got to hammering out some big projects. My mom and dad have been great, working tirelessly on things while Jenna and I are at work. There are a couple projects that really just needed a concentrated effort by the whole team to accomplish, though, and so we got to work.

We started by rolling out the green foam underlayment, as per usual. The room is a pretty simple shape, so this went relatively quickly.

Finished with all the underlayment. Now time to put down some planks!

The first few rows take a long time with all the measuring and tweaking and all, but once you get out into the room a bit more, it speeds up.

That's where we stopped the first day. We got about halfway through the room in something like 8 hours. We may be slow, but we do good work.

This is the face of a man pointing to the last piece of flooring in a room. Pure, unadulterated joy. maybe adulterated a little with exhaustion, but that's to be expected.

My mom also got the ceiling in the master bedroom painted, and it looks awesome. It took at least one coat of primer and two coats of paint (so far) to cover up this mess:

Yeah. For reals. You remember the glossy green on all the walls and the ceiling? I do. But hopefully I'll be able to forget.

So let's see...what else? Oh yeah, garage update. Here's where we stand at the moment:

Not too shabby, eh? I'm pretty pleased.

That's it for now. We've got a lot more work ahead of us, but we're making big progress. I'll keep you posted, of course. Thanks for reading!
