Kitchen floor
Last Friday the floor guy, John Crow of Crow’s Quality Flooring, came and installed the kitchen floor. It’s wide and long oak plank running perpendicular to the short narrow oak elsewhere in the house. Its up flush against the shorts so no cap is needed for the transition. The flooring is going to sit there for a month to acclimate to the humidity level in the house and swell to what it needs to swell to before it is stained to match the surrounding floor.
Althought he hasn’t done the staining part yet, I wish we had known about him when we had the floors done last year. Mr. Crow actually likes stained floors and as a result knows a lot about staining. The guy we had didn’t really like staining so much. While we’re happy with how they came out I think John Crow would have done a better job.
The kitchen floor looks marvelous. I was just admiring it this morning, in fact. And I like that the hole in the hallway is filled in (behind my dresser). There is less draft now.
