My original plan was to take a picture every hour on the hour to see how things were progressing. The first several hours, however, all pretty much looked the same:
By mid-morning, there was at least some sign of progress:
Those are not our tools.
An hour later:
Apparently, the floors have to be perfectly level before the new floors can be installed. As should surprise no one who has any familiarity with this house and its construction, the floors were not level. Not to mention all the little holes around the perimeter of the room left behind when we pulled up the nail boards that held down those horrible carpets.
The leveling compound looks something like concrete and it has to dry before the actual flooring process can start.
Leveling the floors in Future Vet's room was also started:
I'm guessing there's a lot more leveling to do in this room. There are holes in the concrete all the way around the room, just like those in the family room.
For the record, nothing was done in the living room. The installer is using that as a staging area and will complete that room last. Which is okay, because I asked him to please do the family room first. Why, you may ask?
So we don't have to hook up the DVR over the kitchen counter and take up most of the floor space in the kitchen with the TV itself. Sports Nuts had to watch Monday Night Football, of course. The Patriots were playing. Need I say more?
