NEW FLOORING!!!!!!

The girls were so excited Sunday evening when Mark and I stopped by their house because their dad was almost done putting new flooring down in their kitchen. Karen and Chris picked the flooring up Friday evening and Chris was almost done laying it Sunday evening. Amazing!!!!!

And doesn't it look nice?!?!? They also painted their little nook (where Grandma Rankin had her washer and dryer) red to match the rest of the kitchen.

And Mark grouted our bathroom floor Saturday afternoon!!! We thought the floor looked so much better with the tile on it, but it really does look better finished with grout!!! (Are we just rednecks, or what?) Thank you, Kelly and Nick, for the leftover tile from your previous house and for laying the tile, and thanks to all our son-in-laws for doing the prep work (we won't say when it was laid but it was awhile back!!). Now to decide on the wall treatment -- paint or wallpaper?!?!?

Whatever you choose,Ruth,don't forget to prime the walls first!!!
Remember we didn't prime any of the walls in my house and now the half-bath really is peeling bigtime!I'm beginning to believe in
primer for every wall!!The floors at Chris'and Karen's are really be-autiful. I think Chris needs a round of applause! Good job,Chris!!

Those brother in-laws that helped with the tile would like to be thanked by name, because as we all know all of the brother in-laws were in town however not all of them helped.
