Floors and A Year's Progress

The oak floors were installed in the den, dining room and foyer....

Here's a photo of the first board going down....

Sadly that's all I have to show because as soon as the boards were all down, 

they were quickly covered up with rolls of "Ram-Board."   

The same thing happened downstairs in the basement....

The tile was laid in the hall, study and center hall.  

And I managed to get one photo (ungrouted) 

 looking down at the center hall from the stair landing

before the slate look tiles were covered up!  

Outside, most of the battens are on and the exterior is largely ready for the painters to go after 

when they return Monday from a 2 week job elsewhere.  

We're making progress......

Here's the den last year in early August

And now....

The view is still as wonderful as ever, but we've got a few doors and a fireplace in the way!
