Hardwood Floors Days 9 and 10

On the second weekend of the hardwood installation we installed the flooring in the hallway and living room area. On Saturday Donald had to work and after four hours of laying floor and seeming to be getting no where I decided to call in for reinforcements. Two hours later my father was here and ready to work.

  It felt like we were making good progress until my father realized he has been here for four hours! It only felt like one hour and both of us wished with went this fast. By the time Dad left we had the living room finished. The next day a few more rows in the hallway for laid. Sorry no pictures of it.

Thanks Dad for your help! 

Hardwood Floors - Day 3

On the third day of flooring we used the floor nailer in the third bedroom. The other two were already done, at least where the nailer can be used. Plank after plank, cut after cut we placed the boards and secure them in place. There was a little too often that I would accidentally step on the edge of an unsecured board and crack the groove off of it, but we just replaced it and carried on. After one long weekend we had three rooms floored. Here is how it looks:
