Nearly two years ago, we started laying hardwood floors upstairs. Now we can finally call the job complete with the addition of one little strip of oak between the hallway and the bathroom.
But Amelia, I thought you were putting fancy new tile in your bathroom.What happened? Also, why are your floors so dusty?
Right before Adam repaired the subfloor in the bathroom, we discovered that the joists in our old house are spaced too far apart for tile (over time, the amount of flex in the floor could cause the mortar beneath the tiles - and the tiles themselves - to crack). Boo. The linoleum is in perfectly good condition and it wasn't glued down, so we made the decision to just peel it back and re-install after fixing the subfloor. It can't compete with the beautiful hex tile I wanted, but it's neutral, inoffensive and it didn't cost us anything. Sometimes that's just how it goes.
While it doesn't make for a very exciting post, I wanted to close the loop on our bathroom plans (we're still hoping to tile the tub surround this summer, so there's that to look forward to). To liven things up, how about a short video of Hannah from her first swimming lesson? She had a great time and collapsed into tears on the pool deck when it was time to leave. Just wait until she sees my brother's pool in Florida!
