Yesterday I called the contractor that had worked on my house some time ago and asked for a couple of pieces of scrap drywall, I had to repair a couple of spots in the laundry room. He said he had a couple for me and I went up to pick them up. I have NO idea WHY the last owner opened the wall up! but there were two 9"x24" openings in the wall, the lower one had something pushed up against it (before I moved in) and it collapsed the wall up 48" so one big piece and one small piece had to be replced.
While we were talking I told him that I wanted to replace the kitchen floor but didn't have the moola to accomplish this, at that point he showed me some flooring that he took out of the house he was working on (Laminate!) and said I could have it if I wanted it! COOL! the house had a fire but the flooring wasn't burned, it only had soot on it! I went back to my house and measured everything out and there was enough! WOO-HOO!!!! I went back up and snagged it right up!
This picture shows one clean and one dirty, it will take some work to clean the boards, I can't just wipe them off, they kinda look NASTY at the moment! YEESH! I managed to get like 10 or 12 done already, and while they are not brand new perfect they are FAR better than what is on the floor at the moment, God has provided once again! There is NO WAY I could have purchased those at the moment! not even enough money! GOD IS GOOD!!!
I layed down a few boards to see what it will look like, much brighter than the carpet that is in the kitchen/diningroom now!
Time for another cup of coffee and some migraine pills, I've been fighting this one for three days now, I hope to win SOON!
Later all!
Me!
