Post 35: I'm floored.

Well, while the wife was away I got the upstairs floor done, and it looks amazing.  As Kenny would say "That looks so good it looks like someone else did it."

I'd actually planned to do the benches (but the foam store was SOLD OUT!!! I have some hilarious notes about the foam store, but'll save that for when I do the benches) or drywall (but Lowe's couldn't deliver drywall to me in a timely fashion "Ok, so you need this tomorrow?  How does sometime in June sound, then?  Also, instead of drywall, how about some nice cardboard?") so I was kind of looking for something productive to do, and my parents had been kind enough to bring up the flooring a couple weeks ago, so there you have it.  Floors it is.

Here are some pix :)


From the stairway facing along the wall....




A closeup of some of the detail work near the stairs.... (the "lumber" looking wood sticking up on the right there is part of the glue lam: those will be boxed in and look like either solid oak or a roughcut beam before we're done)


And, from the window wall facing the stairway...


Since they look so good, I also had a few pix of the cut in's and detail work around the bed and the closet too, but I didn't want to "air my dirty laundry in public" (that's not a pun, my dirty laundry was in hampers above the part of the picture I wanted to show) so, soon :).

That's all for now, short one today.  Back soon!
