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.

Roomba Video

Here's a little video of my Roomba bumbling around for a while. Takes quite a long time to clean the floor but seems to do a better job than me and the Dyson. Sorry about the video quality, mobile phones aren't good video cameras.



It just bounces around until it's decided it's probably cleaned most of the floor then makes its way back to base. I like it!
