Ordered the floors

I can't help but sweat over my selection. I went with a cherry stained maple, a reddish stain. According to the fine print these floors used to be called Yukon Spice and sold for over $13.Probably way back when the markets were hot. The flooring company SimpleFloors is selling them for $3.79 plus a 5% discount to me. We are also within the 50 mile radius by two miles so they will deliver to the house for $135. That took some pressure to get them to agree. The whole bill will be $3500 including an underlayment vapor barrier.

All we need now is to finish the prep work, and wait the two weeks for delivery. Rent a special nail gun once the floors arrive and go to work. I am just so concerned that the color is right. Tom asked for Cherry. He said it was his favorite. I like the color on furniture. I just hope I like it on the floors. It will be handsome according to the pictures on the web site. I just hope it matches everything.

A window guy came over to show me his window products. Very high end expensive Cadillac of windows. You can stand on the glass and it doesn't break. Tempting after our last catastrophe, but the cost was three times what I am getting our replacement for now. I had to pass on replacing the window with the bad seal. He said the more windows I do the better a deal he can give me. One window wasn't much of a deal. Eventually when we do the basement, perhaps I will have him back to bid again, but I don't need the best of the best, just a decent window will do. Kind of like shopping the floors.

I am getting solid maple 3/4 inch thick 3 1/2 inch wide planks. It took some shopping but it is what Tom wants and within our budget that I set for myself. Life is good. Stick to the budget and keep working it.
