Work is moving along at Chez Brown in between tee times, board meetings and life in general. Mike called today and insisted I take a photo and send it to him so he could join in the fun.
Burl demonstrates how to use a pneumatic floor nailer!
Since Mike installed hardwood floors in his last home, I know he’s serious when he said he wish he was here to help. He and his dad would have the job done in record time – but since Burl has to rely on me as his handyman assistant, we’re plodding along!
I have put my organizational skills to work. I unpacked several boxes of flooring and sorted the boards according to their length. Tammy said is I was really anal-retentive (What? She doesn’t think I am?), I would have labeled the stacks. Actually I considered that but the lengths are pretty random and it’s hard to find too many pieces that are the same length – close but not exact.
Then I check to see what length needs to be placed next to insure we don’t have seams too close together – then I pick out the board, check it for flaws and then hand it (Vanna White style, of course) to Mr. Nail Gun.
I’m not 100% convinced the living room will be done by Thursday when Ralph and her crew arrive but we’re working on it.
Tomorrow is Burl’s day for breakfast and motorcycle riding with the guys and I have my volunteer gig at Cox plus a haircut that can NOT be changed.
At this rate I just hope we’re back to whatever passes for normal before we leave for Phoenix in a couple of weeks! There’s a lot of work to do and a short time to get there………..
I’m impressed. Philip and I would have spent years discussing the situation and you guys just do it.
Role models for the Nike “Just Do It” slogan. In fact, doesn’t that sum up your relationship since day one?
Great wood color choice.
Looking good! Can’t wait to see it in person – especially the red walls.
