Kitchen and pantry floor

One layer of the old floor was ripped out.  It took two guys two days to complete the project (22 man-hours to finish.). 

First they ripped up the old floors. 
What was underneath:


Then they applied a leveling compound which had to dry for an hour or two. 

While it was drying the one guy started cutting trim. Once dry they cut the floor in for the main kitchen area. That was day one. Day two they applied leveling compound behind the fridge, then cut out the areas for the pantry and under the fridge. I think they only glued it at the doorways for about 8 inchs into the room. Then trimmed it all in quarter round.

LED completion and grass growth (so far)


We planted grass seed about a month ago, this is the grass growth so far. 





Today we had Lowes install a sliding glass door where the old door was. We decided it was time since both sides of the door glass were getting foggy. 

The door completely gone:

New door, we have to still caulk and paint the trim... 
Lowes doesn't do finish work, but we knew that. It was a very professional job, the guys were good contractors. 2 guys were here about 5 hours to get the job done.

We can see outside now!!!

Also today Jim and I also installed the rest of the patio LEDs!






Next up... New linoleum for the kitchen. No more grey (white) floor!
