Start of the weekend

So, I decided to start a blog of the last things I am doing to the house. Quick update for those that don't know. My contract with IBM was cut short due to budget cuts. So I am currently seeking employment. Know anyone who is hiring?

In the meantime, Andrea is on vacation in Virginia for 2 weeks, and I am working on the house and the condo while working on finding a job. So I decided to kinda chronicle it here with pictures....
Saturday I promised our friend Thomas that I would help him install his laminate flooring at his new house. He's trying to get it ready to move in by next week, so we tried to knock out a bunch of it. His brother was there installing baseboards, and my friend ben came by and helped for most of the day too. Needless to say, we got a lot done. We did almost his whole downstairs. Here are some before/after pictures...


Here we are, about to start for the day...

Everything is cleared away

..and vacuumed. The Shopvac is the fixer-upper's best friend...







We knocked it out! View from the kitchen...

And this shows where we stopped for day one.

We didn't make it all the way around the stairs, see?
