It's been a frustrating day at the casa. The danged dishwasher still won't fit into the cabinet opening. The genius builder ran the vent stack for the kitchen sink behind the dishwasher (in the dishwasher enclosure). I don't know how the previous washer was able to fit, but we just can't seem to shove the new one back far enough. After managing to put a kink in the copper pipe today, I thought Eric was going to burst a vessel in his head, so the dishwasher installation has been put on hiatus and I'm continuing to sport my very attractive yellow latex gloves for the handwashing. Grandma was on to something with those gloves: you can jam your hands into wildly hot water with little-to-no ill effects. I'm a rubber-glove convert.
Anywho, cottage news.
We went to the Despot (a.k.a Home Depot) to order our floor yesterday, but when we got there, they had tonnes in stock, so we pretty well cleaned them out and brought it all home with us!
It's heavy. I'm surprised the CRV wasn't popping wheelies down the road from the weight in the back. With everyone's help (see last post) our price per square foot was a paltry $1.00. Cha. Ching.
Here's another view:
One step closer to making the cottage look lurvly. The flooring style is called "rustic oak" and I think it's got just the right character for the place. If not, we have a very expensive anchor for the non-existent boat?
how much did you buy?... did you account for 10% wastage?
ReplyDeleteby dimension, the cottage is 609 sq. ft. I bought 28 boxes (@24 sq. ft. / box) = 672 sq/ ft.
ReplyDeleteSo, yes. +10%.
