The last couple of weeks have been dominated by work and renovations. The preparations for the new floor and kitchen are both progressing well.
A few weeks ago we received the wood for the floor (blackbutt)
And last week we put the deposit down on the new kitchen cabinets.
Two weeks ago I got the painting down the hall completed and last week I retiled the toilet. 
This week I realised that since I am gluing and nailing the new flooring over the old subfloor I would have to sand the top coat off the existing floor. Not really an issue except that I had stacked the new flooring on part of the old floor that needed to be sanded.
So today with some much appreciated help the wood was relocated outside, the floor sanded and then the wood brought back inside.
Now I need to paint in the kitchen, dismantle the old kitchen, lay the floor, sand the new floor, oil it, put the new kitchen in snd then put the entry cupboards back in then I can collapse. So, nearly done!
Inspecting the sanded floor area.
