Hardwood is Hard

Well a major step in the logroom took place today.  My brother and I installed the oak flooring - a much bigger job than I had guessed.  it does however look fantastic and once finished it will be the only room we show visitors. - "Where is your bathroom?" - "Sorry we don't have one..."


Oh yes, here is the fixture we found in the in-laws basement.  We had it rebuild and I think it looks great.

That's the update, happy renos...

Yes, the summer breezed past me and I don't beleive I posted once.  That is not to say I didn't get any work done, however my production was limited.   The "log room" is finally read for hardwood, which I plan on installing this weekend.  We went with the 1-1/2" x 3/8" red oak to match the existing areas of the house.  As you can see from the pic, I have a nice expensive pile of sticks waiting for me.

 

Other than that, we spent the summer looking for lights, registers, old furniture etc...  Below are a couple of my finds.

The evenings are becoming cool, leaves are turning, my firewood is stacked - fall is very close!
