Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Did Santa bring you everything that you wanted for Christmas? He (and by HE, I mean Matt) certainly delivered my one Christmas wish… a floor! Yes, that’s right… our epic floor project that stretched out over the past four months has finally come to a close. (Check out Part I and Part II for a recap). Way to end the year on a high note! Whoop!
After looking at every type of flooring from wood to cork to bamboo, we finally decided on vinyl. Why vinyl? It’s moisture resistant, won’t swell or scratch (important with dogs!), was the easiest to install, and was super budget friendly. We found a click and lock vinyl plank that matched the existing wood perfectly. Like it was supposed to be here from the start. Isn’t it awesome? I never thought I’d be so enamored by a floor before!
We started off by using an orbital sander to make sure the floor was completely smooth, then vacuumed and wiped everything down with acetone to make sure it was dry and free of all debris. Per usual, the girls were not at all interested and decided to nap in the cockpit for the afternoon. Their loss.
