I'm Floored!

Our new living room floor was installed over the past couple days. I'm relieved it's finally done.

A little history....

We first had carpeting — very nice, expensive carpeting — but the cats went pee-pee on it. So we ripped it up.

We then had a floating floor in the form of vinyl tiles. Any expanding/contracting of the floor was to occur against the wall, underneath the quarter-round. Instead, the expanding/contracting took place between some of the tiles. After the flooring contractor came back twice to try to remedy the situation, we decided it was time to acknowledge defeat.

So now we have sheet vinyl, which (as it turns out) is also a floating floor. The size of our living room required two pieces. The seam is supposed to be invisible, which I'm sure it would be in a brand-spankin'-new house. But, according to Lew, the seam in our house can be seen from the Space Station.

We really do like our new floor... seam and all!
