Floor Remodel

Finally, I posted the photos of our floor remodeling week. Please go to the slide show on the left to see the photos.



Last winter, we started thinking of changing all the carpets in the bedrooms to laminate floor because the quality of the carpet was not good, so 每吸一次塵就掉一層毛. However, since it was cold in the winter, we decided to do it when spring came.



4/24 (Friday), Stephen did online searches for the laminate floor, and he found that there's a sales event in Simplefloors in Santa Clara, so we went there on Sat. It's not easy to shop with kids because they had many opinions; finally, we all agreed on the one with Cherry Convingtom color and with the pads underneath. It was $1.29 per square feet if we ordered the full pallet which could cover about 1200 sq.ft. It was "no sales tax day", so we saved $147 on the sales tax.



Floors were delivered on the following Wed (4/29), and our contractor came to give us the estimation about installation on Thursday (4/30). We have known the contractor for over the year, and he's a 阿沙力 person, so we liked to do business with him. He would remove the carpet and wall base, dispose them, and install the new floor and wall base for us. He charged $2 per square feet.



Our weekend was busy at removing all the furnitures in 3 bedrooms and kitchen; in addition, we needed to take out all the items in the closets, including all the clothes. We put all of them in the dining room, living room, our computer room and bathroom. Ha and Hee were so happy to be able to sleep in the living room. It was a fun experience for them.



Our contractor and his team arrived on Monday (5/4)around 8am, and everything was done by Wed. (5/6)afternoon. Afterwards, we needed to clean up the rooms, put things back...........for several days. Our lives are back to normal now.
