Flooring, electrical update, Wall

Goodbye hardwood floors. They were going to be way expensive, and we thought we should look into what we could do with the existing concrete floors. After all, this bunker of a house is made of concrete, why not celebrate it? So the picture you see is a floor done by the company we picked to polish and color the floor (Thompson Floors). The bid to do the living room, entry way, and dining room was about 1/5th of a hardwood floor price. We will make sure to soften the rooms down with area rugs, plants, and other soft things.

The electrician bid came in, and it was $5K less than I thought. Phew. After adding the ridiculous amount to move the power cable underground, I think this one will come in fairly close to budget.


Put up the third wall of the home theatre. Framing a wall against a cinderblock wall is kinda tricky.
