About 4 years ago, when things started happening in our family that we
never thought possible, (not sure why that is) our dining room tile
floors were severely damaged. The cracks in those floors have been a
daily reminder of what was, and of what is no longer!
I'm thankful for the deep lessons learned about what "was"... and I'm deeply thankful that what was happening then is happening NO LONGER!....
BUT... that daily reminder was still there and it brings with it, pain.
It is quite costly to replace floors. Last month, during the black Friday sales after Thanksgiving, Mike found the perfect flooring at the right price! In fact, we were able to purchase enough flooring to cover the dining room, living room and hallway so it will all match. (We plan to leave the kitchen and laundry room the same.
So, they started the process at 8:00 a.m. and this is what it looks like at 1:45. :)

There was actually some sort of linoleum underneath and then underneath that a very old sub flooring, so they are headed to get new sub-flooring before putting down the rest of the floor.I'm thankful for the deep lessons learned about what "was"... and I'm deeply thankful that what was happening then is happening NO LONGER!....

One of the coolest things happened! They were putting all the old floor in the large garbage dumpster out front and it was completely full. There was NO.MORE.ROOM. Right when Mike was talking about what to do, as the garbage is typically picked up on Mondays, the garbage truck showed up and dumped the dumpster.... YAY! God provided by having the garbage man show up a day late! :)
I can't wait to see the end result.....

It really is a new beginning! SO thankful for a very handy hubster who did a lot of hard work!
It looks SO AMAZING!!!! What a beautiful floor! I'm so happy for you all. So thankful you don't need to stare at reminders of what happen anymore either.
