Home Repairs Completed

About 5 months ago, our dishwasher mysteriously leaked causing damage to our kitchen floor. It really wasn't noticeable damage, but the floor would need to be replaced when we someday sell our house AND we have always disliked our white floor! Let's just say it never stayed clean and could be mopped daily.

Thankfully the insurance gave us a check and we were able to replace our floor with no out of pocket. The decision of what type of floor to put into our kitchen took MONTHS of looking at samples, comparing costs, thinking, rethinking and finally we had made our decision. We decided laminate tile would be the best option for our family.

We also were never crazy about the color of our kitchen. Last fall, we paid to get it painted what Jim calls a "split pea" yellow/green color. It wasn't great. After 5 pints later of possible colors and 5 walls with different colors, we decided on "Stratton Blue".

After Jim painted the kitchen, he ripped out the floor. His dad came down to help install the new kitchen floor which was a very tedious task and we had to hire out a bit of help for that. Jim and his dad also replaced our front landing to hardwood. It was a week with lots of mess/noise/confusion and my attitude reflected all of that! But, the end product made it all worth it.
