The Deceiving Clampett's

The past 2 days have been eventful days for the Worlington's. We were crossing our fingers that the house would be ready to move in on Sun/Mon, but Ben got a call from our contractor on Friday saying that the hardwood floor guys had messed up a few spots so they were redoing parts of the floor so it would not be ready until Wed/Thurs.

On Friday evening Ben and I went and peaked at our newly stained hardwood floors even though they weren't complete. The floors looked good, but not the stain we were hoping for. Note to anyone that plans on re-staining their hardwood floors, the colors on the cans are deceiving!!!

I met Ben and the floor guys at the house this morning. They had re-sanded down 1/3 of the living room floor and had 7 different new stains to choose from. After much confusion, nausea from the fumes, and another stain combination, we found a stain we like. Starting tomorrow, our floors will be re-sanded again and stained with the new stain color.

This afternoon, we had to pick up the remainder of the furniture that we bought earlier in January. After everything was loaded into my car and his truck, we looked like the Clampett's.
Oh, the "luxury" of home ownership...
