June 4th - Part 5 of 5 (Hardwood floors!)

The biggest recent addition is the hardwood floors. They were started on Friday June 3rd and by Saturday afternoon they had progressed to this point. They should be finished by early next week.


The floors are 2 1/4" maple and will be throughout the first floor. The color is called bordeaux.

The floors are a pretty close match to the cabinets and make the place look amazing! We can't wait to see the kitchen backsplash go in as well as the lighting as things get close to finishing.

The 2 1/4" refers to the width - we could have upgraded to 3" wide planks but were ok with the narrower planks. The thickness of the floor is 3/4", which doesn't sound like much but the floors are amazingly solid and will hopefully be relatively creak-free!

On a final note, we have a closing date! We do our first official walk-through on Thursday July 7th and then close on Wed. July 13th. Prior to signing the papers we do the second walk-through to make sure everything we identified on July 7th has been addressed. Hopefully there won't be much... So we're less than six weeks from the end - or the beginning!
