Putting Down a New Floor

I am so far behind in sharing recent happenings, so I will play a bit of catch up.  In August, I decided that it would be nice to have a bamboo kitchen floor!  The linoleum on top was what we had put in when we moved in 20 years ago this month.  As the floor was being ripped off, there were two other layers discovered underneath.  Not really a big surprise.  The top layer was put on in 1993.  You could tell that the next layer was put in in the 80's, and, of course, the bottom was totally 70's!
 It was not easy stuff to pull off!


 Jonathan hit himself with the bar.


 Sarah helped pull off quite a bit.

 There's the 80's pattern.

 Patches made to the floor.  Now it is time to 
apply the bamboo.

 Jonathan created a pattern of staggering the boards.  
For a sixteen year old, that had never done this 
before, he did a great job!

I don't have a complete floor photo.  But this is what it looks like throughout!  Jonathan finished the floor in time for me as a Christmas gift!  Thanks Jonathan!
