Floored all over again

We've not been sitting around doing nothing while all this work's been going on in the garden. Well, *I* have, but downstairs in the new new lounge our Floormeister has been getting on with laying another tranche of American White Oak flooring, similar to what we had laid before refitting the kitchen last year.

He was quicker this time (smaller area; simpler job) and this is the result:


It still looks a bit like a furniture show room in there, since the newly sold parental dining room suite won't be collected until Sunday, and it echoes like a bastard with all the hard surfaces and no soft furnishings, but it now definitely looks the part.

New TV cabinet arrives on Monday, along with the plumber to fit the replacement radiator that was delivered a couple of days ago (fingers crossed this one won't leak), followed in short order by the new TV (Tuesday). We still haven't decided on what seating we want in there, so for now we're going to have to manhandle our existing sofa from old lounge to new. That'll be fun. It had to be taken apart to get it in (both arms off), so we'll have to have a repeat performance to get it out again.

I keep coming back here all a tingle hoping for an update and my hopes are dashed again and again. Do you have to have another life? :)

LOL! Well Gwen, your comment is timely, for two reasons. Firstly, I've recently (yesterday) made a change that will hopefully lead to more blogging in the very near future (more on that in a separate post), AND our new recliners for this room arrive TOMORROW! Whoop! So as well as being "able" to blog more, I'll have some subject matter too. Watch this space (gimme a couple of days).
