Here's what's happening now on the house

Today, we are having our living room painted...the final step to recover our house from the A/C leak that buckled our laminate floor that we installed OURSELVES earlier this year (w/ lots of help!). We had our carpet kicked and fixed at the doors yesterday and all the laminate was replaced last Friday and Saturday.  I did not miss the concrete floors or the "construction" look inside the house.  In hind sight, the months of dusty, concrete floors and constant working together to put in that floor and all the things related, were not a wash.  In fact, we are ahead!  Not only did we learn lots about installing a floor, we saved lots of money and still ended up having it professionally done for only the cost of our insurance deductible!  Win, win! AND a bonus of getting our living room painted, which had not been, and desperately needed to be done! Wahoo!
