That reminds me of the farmer that bought a brand new, fully loaded, 1 ton, pickup. Just prior to driving it off the lot he had to do something.
Went over to his old pickup, and grabbed a large post digger, toolbox, and hammer. Hauled it all back to the new pickup, set the post digger and tool box in the back and then proceeded to put a big ass dent in the tailgate with the hammer.
The dealer stood there, completely stunned. wh..wh..wHY! Why did you do that?
farmer: simple. Now I don't have to worry about my first dent. Have a nice day y'all.
Oh! I am SO like that! I laid it on the floor in the store then took a couple of pieces home with me and put them out here in case it was the lighting or something. I kept them for a week and walked around them looking at them like a cat will do to a mouse that they've caught. I never got past the blurred images on the 18" tiles and I didn't want the 12" tiles so I took them all back. That afternoon I went to Home Depot and was just wandering and found an AMAZING deal on the 18" travertine and bought a box of tiles and took them home to look at. The price was comparable with the porcelain so we decided to give it a go.
So far, since it's still out in the garage in crates LOL, I don't regret it a bit.
Well, now you HAVE to send me a picture. It sounds beautiful! Billy Ray has been through this too, he REALLY went through remodeler's hell.
Our hardwood is solid 3/4" Maple plank. It's 3 1/2" wide and is cabin grade, so it has loads of color and looks a lot like hickory. I love the character of it. We drove all the way to Georgia to get it.
I'll bet they do! I love the idea of hand scraped but the prefinished stuff I have seen has been kind of - unimpressive. I'll bet your floors are beautiful.
There is a LOT of character in this house, Dickie and ME
Our house is only about 8 yearsold so it shouldn't be a big clash. I couldnt handle it if it were flawless, it would drive me insane keeping it that way.
We already have two . Do not know how they happened but they're there.
*sigh*
Have to move furniture from one side to the other this morning to get this mess done. Damn I'm going to be glad to have my computer back, this laptop keyboard sucks!
And don't forget paint scratches. Gotta have one of those.
