In the spirit of patting myself on the back over things I could once, and some I still can do. Thirty years ago I laid this flooring myself, in three rooms and a hallway. We had pulled out the carpet and there was just the underlayment. I like parquet. I know it isn't a popular choice, but I liked it then and I like it now.
It's another dreary day, but it is November and that is how November rolls. Yesterday I was in the hayloft, or hay mow as it is also known, helping Mark. There were three windows he needed to get to, which meant he needed to place and extend a forty-foot ladder to do that. Lots of grunts and groans happened. We did get it done. One mission accomplished.

That was quite an accomplishment. Mark does keep going, along with you. Putting down flooring is something I think you do once then that's it. At least that's my feeling after laying a kitchen floor one weekend.
Your floor is beautiful. I look at things I did years ago and wish I had patted myself on the back more.
Fortunately I haven't had to do another and likely never will, Boud. You've also spent time on your knees!
It's not too late, Miss Merry. I did this 30 years ago!
Not only is the floor beautiful, it has lasted well. Very satisfying.
Mark certainly has lofty goals.
