New flooring

I've gotten alot done since my last post, but I don't have pictures of everything yet. We finally took our old 1960's oven out to the curb a few weeks ago so I could put down the underlayment. It was in this state for a couple weeks while I filled the cracks and nail heads with wood filler and sanded.

We moved all our living room furniture into the dining room so we could unroll the new sheet vinyl to let it flatten out and then transfer the design and cut it out.

It is now firmly affixed to the kitchen flooor, which was quite a difficult job which Mindy helped me with. It's not perfect, but I just have to remind myself of the old faded, ripped, rumpled, grease stained carpet and be grateful for the vast improvement.

Thursday night (during Lost) I finished tuck pointing the chimney. Today I finished installing the base cabinets, which required much shimming and adjusting to get them level and parallel to the pattern on the floor. Tomorrow someone is coming from Home Depot to measure for the countertops and place the order. In the two weeks or so that it takes to get the counters delivered I will work on window and door moldings, kick plates and quarter rounds. And if I have time, I need to build a broom closet to go next to the new range.

I'll post more pictures when Mindy takes them.
