Wow, that thinset cement on the floor was fucking insane. I had been working on it 3-4 hours every night for 2 weeks and a weekend too. I finally got done Saturday!! We got the hardwood floors down in the kitchen and dining room. It is really dusty still, but here they are so far and the pics don't do them justice either. Click on them for a bigger view.

Sweet Jet. Did you lay the hardwood, or have someone do it? Also, is it real hardwood, or hardwood laminate like Pergo or what not?

I hope to have finished laying all the tile in my entry way by tomorrow night. I've had some dificulties dealing with a spot of the floor that wasn't perfectly flat. The tile sits a little higher right there, but oh well, it's the best I could do. The grout and paint and everything else will have to come after I get back from Spain.

It is laminate flooring from Menards. My dad and I did it this weekend, we got started about 5 on Sat and had the kitchen done at about 4 today. We are doing the whole upstairs, so we have 2 BR's, entry and the living room to do yet. I'll be getting some pic's of the bathroom up later this week as that comes together more.

Good deal. I plan on doing my kitchen/dining room in a light oak colored laminate wood flooring, but probably not for another year or so. But looks good man!

I plan on doing my downstairs kitchen and bathroom in that stuff hopefully this summer.

Jet is that a snap together or glue type floor. Im not a big fan of the laminates but it looks nice in the pics. Ive put down 3 real hardwood floors an like those alot better.

I spent all weekend painting my foyer I should post up some pics so I feel like part of the group.

Thanks guys. This is a snap together laminate. This one looks pretty damn realistic. One thing I like about the laminates is that they are much more durable than real hardwood floors.

i already have paint waiting for the master bathroom and bedroom
