floored by the progress

It was a good weekend for work all in all.  I took half of friday off of work and installed the majority of floor in the sun room with Amber's help.  On saturday morning Doug showed up and spent a few hours helping by setting up rows of flooring to be installed ahead of the nailing.  While all this was going on Lynch was setting the tub and doing a great job tiling the surround with left over granite.  Sunday was a bit of a wash on the progress front, but Amber and I took somewhat of a holiday to go boating with friends in the afternoon (and had a great time).  By Monday afternoon some of the details of the flooring were finished, and it became very clear that my material estimate was a bit low...so it looks like I will have to hit up lumber liquidators for about 150 maybe 200 sqft.  It looks like the floors will be totally installed and ready for finishing by the end of the week provided that I can successfully install all the required thresholds between the rooms.
