Our New Floor

We installed a new laminate floor in our breakfast area, kitchen and laundry room last weekend.  Kath, click on her name,  gave the name of the flooring that she used and so we went and got some samples and oh, is it ever beautiful.  Thanks Kath for the information.  Here are a few random shots from the beginning to the partial finish before everything is put back together.
Just beginning.  We are finally getting rid of our ugly white ceramic tile.  I could no longer keep it clean.  One thing I don’t like is a dirty floor.
We’re getting there.  Look at the mess on  the countertop and the fridge in the background.  Oh, but it will be worth it.

We’re just about done, all we lack is the trim.  The appliances have all been put back in their places.  How does all of that dirt get underneath things, like the dishwasher?

Here it is with all of the trim put on.  It is so pretty and makes our rooms look so much cleaner and put together. 

I would like to get some new rugs since we have had these for ever.  I will have to look at my budget first.  I think the floors turned out great.
Now, guess what we have today, one inch of ice with about 12 inches of snow on top of that.  Here is a picture of the parking lot at work.

This is ice, no snow yet.  This came last night and early this morning.  This is one reason it is so difficult to drive here because we have so much ice underneath our snow.  Here are some more pictures of the  ice.


When I left work today, the snow had already begun to fall and it looked like we were in a snow globe while we were inside, but once we got outside, it was a different story.   If it keeps this up, we will have to get warmer clothes.  This is one of the coldest and snowiest winters I can remember.
This is another weekend and everyone stay warm and cozy and have a very safe weekend.
