Big progress

Today was a big day in our renovation history.. the flooring was finally started today AND the kitchen cabinets were finally put in today. Amazing how much better the kitchen looks with the cabinets in. The guys come back on monday to put in the doors and handles.

The parquet flooring in the living and dining areas are just about laid out. The floors will be "rested" for a couple of days before the nails are pulled out and the surface ground and varnished. Should be on time to move in next weekend.. phew!
