Before Christmas we decided to tackle to project of tearing up our laminate flooring in the kitchen and half bath and the carpet in our eating area and entry way. You see for almost 5 years we have had carpet in the eating area and that doesn't work the greatest with 2 little boy's. We found a good deal on hard wood flooring and took on the very long project of installing it. Even I got trained in and I actually enjoyed it! Here are some pictures:
My brothers, Tanner & Jon, helped David with the tear out and a couple of days with the installing.
Our eager little boy's who always love helping Daddy! The boy's and I were gone most day's. We went to Mom & Dad Tiemann's to bake Christmas cookies one day, Chase and Sarah's to care for Sarina another day and to my parent's twice and made more Christmas cookies (which explains why we STILL have cookies in our freezer!)
Grandpa (Mark) was a huge help and the boy's loved trying to "help" him :D
Here is my new hard wood flooring in the kitchen! I just love the fact that I can sweep it or wipe up spills so much easier! Plus isn't it BEAUTIFUL!
My Dad, Jon, Wyatt & David - being goofy!
Others that helped that aren't pictured: Chase & Peter. Derek loaned us his tools which was a huge help. We couldn't have done any of this without you all! Thank you for your help! Now I just need to do more entertaining!
