Tommy and I picked up our flooring today! All 58 boxes of them.
Each box contains 19.70 square feet (which equals 1,142.6 square feet total). So that means Tommy and I have a lot of flooring to install. Each box weighs 47.4 pounds. Tommy and I got a great workout today carrying each box (up 5 steps) into the house. Phew!
It's called African Thuya Burlwood. It's a wide plank, 12mm laminate (decided against real wood since we have two toddlers and a 140lb. dog). I think it's beautiful! Here's a pic...
It will be installed in our entry hallway (including closet), dinning room, living room, and office. We already purchased the wood (in real oak) for the stairs. We are working on finding a close stain to match the burlwood.
We still need to finish leveling out the flooring as best we can and laying the underlayment before installing the wood. We also have to lay marble/tile/stone (haven't decide which yet) for our two fireplace hearths.
So, we are still far from getting the downstairs finished but getting the flooring in makes us one step closer. Stay tuned for flooring updates in the days/weeks (hopefully not months) to come!
