Laminate Thursday

 Work day today, Norm came over and brought a friend, Fern and they pretty much took charge of our laminate flooring project. I was pretty much the cut and supply guy for them as they work well together and installed all the laminate we had and we still need to get a few more pieces to finish up.  The end result received favourable reviews from our many visitors and most importantly from the general contractor [Marg].  Even got it done under the appliances.  Had to tape some plastic on the light fixture to try and stop hitting it with my head.

 We cut lots of pieces and the dust was everywhere in the carport, but the new saws both worked very well.  Should have left the door at the back leading to the patio open so some could have blown away.  The 7 1/4 inch blade in the skill saw was great, the one in the 10 in miter saw was a bit disappointing.
  Marg brought sandwiches and beer, both of which were well received by the crew.  Somewhere in the day she also managed to do laundry and then all the clean up after. 

I did hear something about the wood not blending with the old stuff on the hutch and cabinet and the possibility of more painting.

 The walls were originally the color of this unit in the corner.

    We were so close [but so far] from finishing the bedroom area, but the front and hallway were the priority and were completed.
  Our guys got the entire length of the unit to make the hallway seamless, great job.
  Fortunately tonight was a hamburger night so we had our supper looked after by Gary and his crew.
