... in with the new.

And here we are with the new laminate floor installed. That certainly was a fun experience. It looks REALLY good. I'm so happy with it. The flooring is by Dupont. Some really good stuff, heavier than any of the Pergo or similar brands that were at Home Depot. Sure it was more expensive, but it was worth it.

I tried to start painting the wall where the tank is going but ended up breaking a screwdriver trying to open the previous paint can. So on my third trip to Home Depot / Lowe's today, I bought another gallon of 'Paper Bag'. The paint guy who mixed the paint for me was wearing a Navy Chief's pin on his apron, so I asked him what he did in the navy. Turns out he's still in and working in Groton. Quite a haul for a weekend job, but he said it's paying for his Master's Degree. Sounds like he's had a fun career serving on some of the Seawolf class attack submarines.

Anyway, tomorrow morning I start painting.
