Hardwood Floors - Day 1

It's so exciting to finally see some progress in the hardwood floor project.  Granted, no actually flooring has been installed yet, but here are the adventures in measuring and learning from Day 1.

First, we measured everything about eleventy billion times trying to find the center of the room.  Laser tools are fun, mmmkay!

Then we installed the underlay.  Looks like a golf course, huh?  That stuff is pretty fun to lay down because it has peel and stick tape! :D  That's the first box of Bamboo we opened!

The last thing we did was to lay down a row of planks to see how many we needed and how much trimming we're going to need to do to fit everything in the room.   Not sure if you can tell, but the first 1/3 of boards are lighter than the last 2/3.  Apparently, we were given 5 boxes of light-colored floor and 30 boxes of medium color.  It's gonna looks so cool all mixed together!

Up close, you can see how much character bamboo flooring has.  My floors are going to have personality!

Doesn't seem like we got much done, but the first day is a learning curve.  The rest should go a lot quicker.... knock on wood...
