Saturday was prep and more cleaning. And I was able to break out some more power tools :) This time it was the arm hammer with a chicel.
When the carpet was installed when the restaurant was built, they laid a filler to make the carpet align with the tile. That was 38 square feet of filler!!!!
Three long hours on my knees and the work was finally done...
Swept and vaccumed and the floor is ready for stage 2...the "upper deck"
So much for Saturday....now on to Sunday.
I needed to run to Fleet Farm in the morning to get some cut-off wheels and jigsaw blades. A quick little trip turned into something a larger. That's right folks.....75% off all plants and flowers :)
Somehow I managed to spend almost $40 on flowers even at that rock bottom discount price. And that meant that Lisa had her job task for Sunday (and she did a great job!!!)
The daunting task of finishing the flooring was taking a mental toll on both of us (especially me!). We decided to crack up the wallet and spend a few buck to get some help. But were do you find somebody on short notice....why, Craigslist, of course!
A few phone calls later and I had a guy lined up to stop by on Monday morning to look at the project. After a little number crunching, we agreed on a price. And he agreed to come back in a few hours to get started. Thanks to Mike's hard work and expertise, the floor is 99% complete!!!
The next step is to tile the baseboards and install the transistion strips., But for the most part, mark this bad boy DONE!!!
