Upstairs Flooring part Deux

September 2017 - While I’m in the groove of putting down new flooring (see - the Music Room Flooring Debacle) I finally went ahead and updated the Hallway, Guest Room, and Office to match the Master Bedroom. Begone, foul carpeting! Thy time is over.

 Wood floors under this ugly carpet! In the name of matching the master (which didn’t have wood underneath) I’m gonna go ahead and float a floor overtop of it, but… man I’d love to see these refinished.

 This is the point that Vally and I both start wondering why I decided to spend my week of vacation doing this.

 And I was so tired of this by the time I finished that I didn’t even bother taking a picture, so just imagine that the last little bit is done. Fin?
