Busy Busy...trees and flooring.







After a solid week of nothing but landscaping (planted 4 trees, 3 shrubs, 4 roses bushes, annuals and made several new planters), I had a bright idea to change the flooring in the entry and kitchen area. Phew....it looks amazing. Jack did a great job, better than when we hired professionals to do the upper level! As soon as Kailey went to bed (around 7:30pm) I kicked into high gear and we did the flooring together until 1am for two nights in a row. It was a big job, they are always bigger than anticipated. We still have the finishing work to do like paint and install the new baseboards and tile under the cupboards, but I wanted to share some pictures so you all can see what a difference it made. They are slate 15" x15" laminate tile that are tough as heck (already dropped a few things). They have a 25 year warranty and are waterproof. Looooove them. I will post some pictures the yard and the major changes there when the weather is better and the lawn is cut ;-). Kailey really tried to help and took it upon herself to remove all the spacers and put them in a pile for us...thanks Kailey...hahaha.
