Darren was up until 2 in the morning this morning making progress on the floor. I kind of like the look of the black underlayment with the white stripes minus the sheetrock footprints. I wonder how it would hold up with polyurethane? I guess it doesn't matter since we already bought the hardwood.
Since neither of us have ever done anything like this, He used Youtube extensively for learning and also called an experienced friend many times.
He finally took a deep breath and started nailing.
I love it! We decided we'd better tile the laundry closet instead of put wood in there. I'm terrible about letting appliances leak everywhere. Tomorrow I will paint this half of the room to match. I can't wait to see it with all the green gone.
Thank goodness for YouTube! I alos love expertvillage.com. They taught me to frame and I built a family room and office with those new skills. Good job with what you've done and good luck with the rest!

You floor is going to look soooo nice when it's done. My hubby did our kitchen floor last year. The laminate looks nice and it's easy to clean. Hang in there with the renos, it will all be worth it in the end.

It's amazing how your husband was able to repair your kitchen floor on his own with only the help of a video. And I find it refreshing when you've made use of wood flooring, I think it's easier to clean wood floorings rather than cleaning a tiles.
