Home Improvements

We loved our tile floors ... but as the foundation settled, the tiles began to crack. Normally we would just replace the cracked tiles, but this tile has been discontinued :( So we decided to put wood floors down!
The before pics:








Our attempt to keep some of the dust off the furniture:


this is the upstairs hallway ... btw - nothing worked, we just spent all day cleaning the house from top to bottom :/
The tile coming up ... the tiles were ON THERE. It took 2 guys 3 days and 2 jackhammers to get all of the tile up!

This was only from day 1 - the dust got about 3 inches thicker!

We were quarantined upstairs while all of the chaos was going on downstairs, so we decided to paint the upstairs bathroom :)
The before:


The after:



Meanwhile ... getting ready to lay the floor:
The crack that was the catalyst for all of this - it went from outside wall to outside wall so the crack eventually would've spanned the entire floor!

The after!! I was TAD while the floor was put down so lucky Michael got to do a lot of the inital cleaning ... but we both worked ALL day to get our house back in order! We LOVE the new floors!







So glad it is done so we can get back to a normal routine!
