I can tell you that LaVerl is super glad to be finally done with all of our major projects this year!! We just finished the entryway!
It was a small area, but still lots of work! Getting the old Mexican tile up turned out to be very difficult.
So our entryway was half wood flooring where it was over the basement, then the stem well of the house and then we added more cement to bring it out further. Where the wood was, the tile came up really easy!
Where the tile was laid on top of the cement proved to be very difficult to get off! LaVerl had to rent a jack hammer!
And the DUST! It went everywhere!
It covered everything in my house! It was awful!
Here is what it looked like after we got all the tile up.
It was so rough and uneven, LaVerl filled the stem wall with cement.
Then we had to poor some leveler on the cement part because it was so uneven.
We had Shane, the guy that was going to install the flooring do it!
We, I mean LaVerl, also finished putting the Trex upstairs on our balcony deck. It looks so good!! I love it!
After a few days of letting everything dry, Shane started laying the flooring down. The Exciting first piece!
And the more exciting last piece!
The trim by the carpet was a little hard because the entryway is still a little higher than the carpet, but not an inch like it was!
LaVerl had to fill in with mortar all the places under the rock that came off with the tile.
We had to take all the trim off and restain it and buy new wider trim for around the base of the floor.
LaVerl finishing the trim!
Hooray for us for getting this done! It looks so nice and I love it! Also, its pretty exciting that our front door opens wide for the first time in 35 years!!
