Too much wood?



Looks like we might have too much wood.  We bought the entire lot that was for sale on the Craigs List posting - 1,860 square feet.  We actually only have 1,500 square feet.  With waste, that leaves slightly under 300 sq ft extra.  David's almost done laying the wood in our bedroom and the study - that leaves the entry way.  But there's still a rather large pile of flooring yet.  More than 300 sq ft.  So I'll take inventory today - looks like we'll have more than enough to do that game room (that everyone comments that carpet will be great in because it will muffle the sounds!).  

On one hand this is a great bonus because we'll be able to put more wood floors in for no additional cost.  But it also means a delay in moving in since now David will be installing flooring upstairs that would have been carpeted by someone else.  I suppose we could wait until after we move in, but it would be better to deal with the sanding before we move in.  

The birds found a new nesting place - under the lower section of the front porch.  Their nest is on top of a piling/below the decking.  I was happy since I'll be able to lift the girls up so that they can see the eggs/baby birds.  David's not thrilled since there are bolts and posts that he needs to install here!
