Laminate Flooring Recap - Pictures!


























































In this first picture you can see the initial cut-away of the water damaged area near the old patio door. The night before the door was replaced, I pulled the laminate back to the left further to expose and clear out the remaining area.



This shot of the kitchen area shows the new french doors that replaced the old slider.



Now the work begins. With the furniture removed, this is what the old rooms were like:



Of course, the furniture had to go somewhere. Think of it as an expensive game of Tetris!





With the carpet removed and a large section of linoleum taken up. You can just make out the repaired section of the floor near the door where the wood is a different color. That repair goes under the door, by the way.



The start of the next day we indulged the kids and let them "ride" a bike inside. The plywood layer they are riding on brings the floors level so there's no funky transitions going on. This picture is more like the "end of day 1" progress picture.
