And... We're Off!

Furniture moved. carpet and pad ripped out, tack strip hacked out of the floor, we've done the demolition.  My installer laid down  couple of strips of flooring to give us an idea what it would look like.

Milady is pleased.  I learned a long time ago to let the lady of the house pick the colors, styles, and textures.  As long as she's happy, I' thrilled, and she is very happy about this installation. Work will commence in earnest tomorrow morning.
