New Floor

Last week dad came over a laid this excellent new floor (with a bit of help from me).

It's Kahrs 7mm engineered wood, in other words it's proper oak on top but slots together like laminate. We bought it from 1926 Wood Flooring. They were nice and cheap and the service was better than you usually get from an on-line company.

So, the "exciting" bits are:
  • My speaker cables for the back speakers are now tucked tidily under the floor
  • Nice matching skirting board to hide the gaps
  • The Roomba works even better on the new floor
  • We had to take the stairs down to lay the floor underneath, they're really heavy
  • Check out my new rug, made from real sheep

Now I'm off to Maplin to find a way to attach speaker terminals to the top of the skirting.

Dom: I'll ask him tonight if he shows up :-)

Kev: yep, I'll lay your floor... I'll even give you a discount on my normal daily rate :-) Do you have a diamond tile cutter?

Will: ooo, why have one robot when you can have 2
