FLOORING PROJECT REPORT #5

The new floor has been installed. Once I put the old baseboards back in place, the project will be done.




Two days ago, on Wednesday, I finished the hall and continued laying the floor in the dining room. From left to right are the particle board sub floor, the green laminate underlay, and the laminate flooring.



Yesterday, on Thursday, the dining room was almost done. The black things at the edge of the floor are quarter-inch spacers to keep the floor from touching the wall. Laminate floors expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes and need room when they expand. Laminate floors are also called "floating floors".



Today I finished the dining room.

This cool little wooden vent cover fits in nicely with the new floor.




Table and chairs returned to their places.






The family room is also done.
