I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
Due to the storm last Thursday and Friday here in Pittsburgh… I sent a lot of time at the end of the week finishing my flooring project and I am thrilled to let you know it is completely finished! I completed tearing up the carpet, installing the Pergo floor, doing the transitions and putting on the molding around the entire condo.
Here is a re-cap of the past few days...
I have a huge curio cabinet that I had to unload in order to move it to install the floor under it. Since I unloaded it I figured I might as well watch all of my dishes that have been in it for 10 years as well! LOL!
This is a picture when I was down to my last few rows of flooring… The area under the floor lamp is the concrete…
Here is a picture of me knocking out the nails after removing the carpet tack strips… Don't you love my construction process? I wore my unicorn slippers to do all of the work ha ha!
Another view from when I was down to a small section of flooring left to do.
Two rows left…
This was the very last piece I had to install! I was so excited I had to take a picture before I put the board in!
This was a photo of the door transition… It works so well I was shocked! I thought for sure it was gonna be a problem but it fell right into place! If I haven't said it enough I highly recommend this project for anyone who is looking to have a Pergo floors installed! You could definitely do it yourself! The key is just watch all the videos online!
Here is my final trip to Home Depot… This was my trip to return the rest of the flooring. I had initially ordered 84 boxes. First trip I took back the 10 boxes and this trip I took back another 19. I definitely over ordered but Home Depot took the extras back no problem!

And a shot of the whole room finished.

I am sooo happy it is done and my home have them put back together. This project was awesome and so worth doing it myself! Now I'm enjoying two days of chilling before I start celebrating Thanksgiving with my family. Those two days I'm going to sit and watch TV and do nothing! LOL!
Happy Monday!!! I hope you all enjoyed your weekends!!!
Congratulations on a job well done! It looks fantastic and I love the color you chose!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri! I love the color too! I chose it after I saw it on of my neighbors condos. She used it and I loved it in hers! Have a great day!
DeleteIt looks fantastic, you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie! So glad it finally done and I can chill! Have a great day!
DeleteSuper impressed Ann. Well done. Now sit and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI am doing exactly that Linda! Have a great day!
DeleteWell Done Ann. I have concrete under my engineered hardwoods. Boy are they cold. So get the area rugs out and wear your slippers. Winter is a bitch on these floors. Then again you are in a condo and it may be warmer if someone is under you since heat rises. I hope you aren't on the bottom floor. They are absolutely beautiful and I'd put them in again, only next time heated floors. :-) You know after the lottery win. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I do have someone under me but there have not been there for awhile...they are definitely colder but I am a slipper kind of gal anyway! HA! Have a great day!
DeleteWHOOO HOOO!!!! You are awesome for taking on such a big project!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca! It was so fun and fulfilling that I did it myself!
DeleteWhew, nicely done! Impressive and inspiring. Enjoy being a couch potato!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy it is done Abby and I am definitely spending my time laying around and admiring it! LOL!
DeleteWOW … it looks great! In recent years I witnessed installers - both in my home's den and at work - having to use the heavy artillery (???) because the concrete wasn't exactly level. That would sure preclude me from ever attempting something like this. So glad you can RELAX and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe Pergo was awesome on my very uneven concrete! It has padding under each board and that really appears to have helped where the concrete was uneven! Time will tell but I think it is okay even without level concrete!
DeleteI am so proud of you. What an amazing project you too on. It looks gorgeous. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you Debby! I love how it turned out!!!
DeleteWoohoo! Looks great!
