Halloween and Hardwood

After a productive demo weekend, we had a weekend where we just did some little things...and ordered our hardwood. It came Sunday and we have to let it acclimate for a few weeks before we can begin installation.

We got about 30 boxes of hardwood and some sound/vapor barrier to put down under the hardwood. We copied what Karen and Steve have and got Brazilian Cherry (imitation is the most sincere form of flattery :)). This type of hardwood darkens when exposed to sunlight, and we got to see what Karen and Steve's looked like after it was darkened and we loved it. So installation should start sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. That's when the real fun will start! 

 

 My parents are coming down this weekend to help out with removing the cabinets and granite counter tops, as well as removing the rest of the second sub-floor, so more updates will follow.


Until then, here are some pictures of our house decorated for Halloween. We decided to go with a Costco pack of full size Snickers bars this year, and so far, we have only had 10 trick-or-treaters, so, it looks like we will have tons of leftovers!


The picture below is of IronBabyFishRider, which is something that we inherited from Aunt Joanne and we decorate him for every holiday. My grandma found this iron fox and gave it to us for Christmas last year, so we have taken to decorating her for every season as well.  Its been a fun tradition that we have started.

  Happy Halloween! D&L
