So today my dad came over and we put in most of the new floor in my soon-to-be office. It looks really great -- better even than I expected even. The color works very well with the red walls, and it's not so dark that it feels like being in a cave. It didn't even take that long after we got the first few rows in. Unfortunately, we ran into a little snag.
When I bought the flooring, I got seven boxes of flooring because they were supposed to be about 22 square feet each. However, it turns out that the boxes actually have a little over 14 square feet instead. So we ran out just before we got to the far wall. Tad bit annoying really, since I took the day off (and my dad spent his Columbus Day here helping me out). So now I have a room that is almost done, but not quite.
On the upside, it turns out I overestimated how much I needed, so I only need one more box of flooring, and since I paid by the square foot, and I got about two-thirds of the square footage I actually ordered, I'm getting a refund of about a hundred and fifty bucks, and the other box of flooring I needed is getting here tomorrow. Hopefully we can get that in by the end of the month. Once I get that done, I just have to get the trim and the door replaced. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the whole room will look like -- I'll probably borrow my dad's camera when it's done and post some pictures.
