My new floor

Yesterday I woke up, walked out of my bedroom and smelled our carpet.  It has been very humid here and when it is humid the carpet stinks like dog pee (not my dogs) and dirt.  Since it is supposed to be humid all summer long and the carpet hasn't been changed since we moved in I decided that walking out of my bedroom every morning and wanting to throw up from the smell was not an appealing idea.  So, I did what I always do.  I called Rob and said "just so you know I am tearing out the living room and hallway carpet today."  An hour later he was home and said "I know you so I took two vacation days." 

Here is the living room and hallway with the underlayment down.  I would have taken a picture of the carpet but it wasn't a pretty sight.



Here is our kitchen and computer room with all of the living room stuff.  Needless to say we had takeout for lunch and dinner.

Here's Rob working hard to put the flooring in

 Of course, all day the weather was like this

 Taking a quick break to eat dinner

At the end of the evening we had this much completed

 Bright and early this morning he was up and doing it again

 The best part of the day for Rob - putting the last piece down

 The finished floor by the stairs

 and by the bedrooms

Then it was time to put the trim back on and touch up the paint

The completed hallway

Now, I'm going to go off topic for a minute and show you what happened to my couch.  One of the children who I won't name but his initials are A.C. put the bleach bottle on my couch instead of on the floor.  Apparently he thought my couch needed a little something to make it look better. 

Alright fine, it's not a big spot and it is on the back of the couch but I still think it means I need a new black leather sectional to fix it.  If I get closer it looks bigger and then you'll see my point of view

Ta-da.  The new and improved living room (it'd look better with a black leather sectional with reclining seats and a pull out couch).  What do you think? 

Yeah, I think it needs a new couch too.  Great idea.  Thanks for the suggestion
