Home Renovations - My DIY Habit

In my profile, I mention that besides loving smaller houses, I also enjoy DIY. To date, I haven't done a DIY post, so here goes...

The townhouse I currently inhabit with my partner Jennifer had dark laminate flooring on the main level when we moved in. Neither of us liked it very much. It seemed to suck the light out of the main rooms. We hadn't planned to replace it right away, but circumstances collided and presto! The old flooring is up, fourteen sheets of 3/8 inch plywood have been laid and screwed down with 1500+ wood screws, and tiling begins tomorrow. We've opted for a heavy vinyl tile with a matte finish and a warm mottled coloring. Our four dogs will have much better traction on them and they should help hide dog hair in between the daily vacuumings.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my little Ford Ranger! She may be small but she affords a level of independence that I've not had in many years. On Friday evening, Jenn and I loaded the sheets of plywood in the back of teh truck and made our way home. There was no waiting for the building store to deliver and no delivery charges.

Anyway, my hands are tired from the single speed drill I used today. I'll post before and after pictures once we've finished. Cheers!
