Eternal Summer Week 7

I got back to Rochester last Wednesday and enjoyed a few days of summer fun, going to the pool, bbq-ing, early morning walks and late night tv shows. I spent most of the day on Saturday doing yard work, weeding, trimming, etc. On Sunday we started working on the upstairs flooring. Jim does the hard work of removing carpets while I sweep up and help with removing staples. On Monday I started laying down the vinyl planks. The work seems to be easier and a bit faster as I am now quite experienced after doing the downstairs area. I put flooring under all the appliances in the kitchen and cut my thumb pretty badly moving the stove. I am pretty proud of the great work I did around my angled island. I finished the dining room, kitchen, living room and hallway today. I am leaving for Madison tomorrow and spending next week in Michigan with Monika. I will have to finish the bedrooms upstairs in August. I will have to figure out what to do about the stairs in the entry way. I was thinking of tile but memories of my mom's tile stairs gives me second thoughts. If not tile, then either wood or more vinyl? I will happy when the flooring is finished and I can start working on other projects-- there is always plenty to do!
