Summer House Project - Final Post! (#9)

06/29/10

After getting up, my Mom came down and helped me with getting things cleaned up.  The entire upstairs of the house was covered in saw dust, dust, and had tools and pieces of wood everywhere.  After a couple hours of cleaning, we had the house looking real good.  We then moved the furniture back upstairs and installed felt pads on the bottom of the furniture so it wouldn't scratch the new floors.  We got the house cleaned and back together just in time for me to pick up the girls at the airport.  Here is the final product:

The stairway before and after:


Overall, I am VERY happy with how the flooring turned out.  Shannon was also very impressed and happy to see her design ideas come to life. 

I would like to again thank my Mom and Dad for helping me get this project done.  Dad, I don't think working 10-14 hour days for 5 days in a row was what either one of us had planned but it paid off in the long run.  Mom, thank you very much for watching Bubba, making us dinner, and helping me clean the house.  I couldn't have done this without either of you!
