hardwood going limp...ok den?

so we started out with this crazy bamboo obession...looking, pricing, purchasing, lugging, home depot stalking, stapling...WE WERE ON FIRE! and by we i do mean me, d, b money and of course cheps (for moral support that is). so d and b were hammering and pounding away (yes this is still me talking about the bamboo), and then suddenly we hit this 1 week hiatus. the room is 3/4 of the way done and life just won't seem to cut us any slack. sans any sort of space for us to actually lay down in a real bed, d and i have been shacking up on the couch for the past week and the crazies have been taking over our domain. bbopshee literally thinks my face is her scratching post at 3am, making that God-forsaken MEAH! noise (for those of you who know her...you know the noise), and chingoo can't get onto a couch without bbopshee pushing her off. serious napolean issues.

you know, i could laugh about it all (which we have been trying to maintain for a week now) and stare longingly at the jts for their crafty brazilian cherry purchase one mile down the street from our house, or i could stand by my man and feel accomplished and fulfilled at the end of the day! i choose the latter of the two, and while it's been a journey for us all, our floors have never looked more glorious!

so for all of your who are interested in putting down your own flooring take my advice...give yourself at least 12 straight hours, which includes: 20 trips to home depot, 10 equipment purchases, lots of beer, jalapeno poppers, chips, frustrated dog walking, 1 big ass bottle of excedrin, and a very loving spouse...and you'll be all set. dats nice.
