My floor
November 14th, 2009
Back in June my brother, Jacob, helped me rip the carpet out of the house, pry up the hundreds of thousands of staples, tacks, and nails, and thoroughly scrub 50-year-old asbestos tile. In August I drove to Lumber Liquidators in Eugene and picked up 1/2 of my order of flooring. Mike, the super talented builder/craftsman/and now licensed contractor (congrats, Mike!), picked up the other half.
In September, when my husband was here for a visit, he and Mike started nailing it down.
And now it looks like this throughout the whole house. This is tiger strand bamboo.
I’m in love. (And look, I even washed the floor before I took this picture. Shiny!)
Lovely! I am happy for you. I know you’ve always wanted it. Now I’m jealous….
Katie,
When you buy land in Oregon and become my neighbor again, I’ll teach you how to install your very own spectacular floor.

I ADORE the graphic quality. I can tell you must be over morning sickness, though..teehee…
Gearing up for my Light Bird’s year long unaccompanied tour to Japan,
SEMPER FI,

Laura,
Thankfully, I never have suffered from morning sickness, only mild food aversion.
My best and most sincere wishes that this upcoming deployment will be gentle on the heart and uneventful afield.

Dang! That is super-cool. I have done the carpet ripping, staple pulling bit. It is long & tiring. It seems like it was worth it for you-the floor is beautiful. And shiny!!
That is one of the most beautiful floors I have ever seen! Simply stunning. I am so in love with your floor!
