Damage control
This morning, Thomas came over and we cut a section of the flooring out at the house (just a sliver) where it was rubbing against the wall. Then we bolted over to the condo and gave it a good scrubbing. Unfortunately, that was cut short because I had to come back to meet the flooring folks. I called after we had left the condo, and they were running about 90 minutes late. Well time is not something I have a lot of, so I went back to the condo and Liquid-Nailed the tracks in for the thresholds. Then back to the house to meet the flooring folks.
These guys were ABSOLUTELY outstanding. I couldn't believe what a good job they did. When they came in, I asked them if they could fix the damage. He said "Well, we're sure going to try." And I said, "No, I need to know if you have repaired damage like this before." He got pretty offended that I was doubting him I guess. "Sir, this is what we do every day, for a living." I knew then and there that we had the right guys. I want someone that takes pride in their work and gets offended if you doubt it. Perfect! So the floor guy, and his assistant got to work. I watched them and learned tricks here and there and asked for tips. Really nice guys and very knowledgable. That said, it took two experts, who do this every day, 6 HOURS to repair the damage. So I'm really glad that we got it done by pros. It would have taken me longer and I don't think I could have done as good of a job. I'm really happy with the work they did.
Since it took so long, I didn't get to go back to the condo (though I did contemplate starting my workday at the condo at 10pm, reason won and I didn't go over there). I worked on electrical at the house all day, and transferring numbers off my old cell phone. I switched to Sprint, with Andrea. SO much cheaper and Cingular's service has just out and out sucked here in Austin. Cingular would have been cheaper for the both of us, but just not worth the crappy service. I'm glad to be back with Sprint.
The boxes they went through.
DONE!!!!!
Perfect!
Inside the closet.
This was the toughest spot.
This is the MOST you can see of the whole thing, and this is only when you are right up on it. They filled the crack with some tinted putty. When you're standing, you can't even see this.
Closet fixed. Done and done!

I liked how unique the floor looked before getting fixed. Now your house is no longer cool.
