Flooring update

Wow! I had no idea it would be such a huge production to get new floors! After getting several quotes we are left with this:

Flooring companies are really busy this time of the year! I guess I am not the only one wanting new floors before Christmas... turns out there are really no time slots available before Christmas that fits us! So instead of hasting ourselves into using a less reputable flooring company or stressing about it, we decided to go with out original plan to wait until after tax season (which ends April 15). There is no way Ken would have time to deal with this between January 1 and April 15, that is his busiest time of the year.

We also found out that it is really only one company that has a large enough crew so they can complete the job in 4 days or less. The rest needs 2 weeks or more! And since we cannot be in the house while they are laying the floor, well, that would be a nightmare having to stay out that long! If we go with the company that can do it in a shorter period we can solve the problem by renting a RV and live in that for a few days. Since one of us has to be present while they work at all times, it solves that problem as well. This way we can park the RV next to our house, hook up the electricity to our house and have most comforts of home right there, kid, dogs and all!

The entire house is being tiled, so we have to remove ALL furniture! That is equal to moving! We decided to also rent one of those storage PODS and have it in the drive way to stash all the stuff in, that way it will be a bit easier I think.

So much stuff needed just to get some floors! But heck, I am happy just knowing it is happening! So for Sarah's birthday on May 8 everything is suppose to be back in place and ready for a party. Let hope so!
