Oh I’ve got to share this! I was soo excited yesterday morning I was jumping up and down and in circles. OK, just inside, I was driving a good part of the morning, but it felt like being a kid at Christmas. What was it all about? Hardwood flooring. You see I didn’t think I could afford hardwood flooring and settled for laminate early on in the project. I bought a secondhand lot from UsedVictoria in January. And a nuisance it has been ever since, not having had a place to store it I drove around with it in my car for several months and only just reclaimed my trunk. It is still advertised for reselling. |
Kalina being situated in the rainforest and making her habitable starting with the removal of rot and mold, I didn’t feel good about putting in laminate any longer. The alternative seemed to be linoleum but that didn’t make my heart sing either. So after long internal debating and a busy universe creating (my brain twirling around endless thoughts) I asked myself ‘what do you really want?’ ‘Hardwood!’ was the answer.’ So then look for hardwood and trust’. |
Within a couple of weeks plenty of affordable lots came up, most of them not quite enough square footage. But I took it as a sign the right post would come along. And then there was this post I just wasn’t sure about was there a pull or wasn’t there? The price was more than perfect $40! The colour was too red for my really liking it and would 90 square’ be enough? A week goes by I am waiting for a better pst to come along. Thehe add still being up as if waiting for me to get into gear. So I finally get onto my ‘to do’ list and approach a mathematically inclined friend to calculate the area of my wheel wells and floor tiles. Turns out with 90 sq’ I have way more than I need. Yesterday morning I went to pick it up and in real life the wood turned out to be brown not red. What a bonus and a left over from the building of a luxury apartment building downtown.
