New floor


Whew! It has been an interesting week. The flooring company arrived on Monday morning to start removal of the condo floors. They were very expedient...completing removal of everything (including old metal bifold doors) before 5:00pm.

The next day, when we arrived at 5:00pm, there was no change to the situation. Obviously the crew had not arrived. Our Nufloors contact called to say that the levelling was going to cost more than planned. What option did we have at that point?!

On Wednesday we visited again at 5:00pm and could see that the levelling had been done during the day but was not completely dry.

At 4:30pm on Thursday we received a call to tell us that there was a leak in the condo below us and they needed access to our unit immediately. We flew over to the building from my sister's...full of angst...what if the new floor was swamped in water?...what if?...what if?????

We walked into the condo with trepidation...it was a mystery...no sign of water and the flooring crew had not used any nails that could have caused a hole in the radiant heating pipes. The laminate was all clickable...no sign of anything!!! The plumber was called to assess the problem!

As there is no furniture in the condo, we waited in the lobby for the plumber to arrive. He quickly assessed the situation, visited the condo below us and determined that the problem was a pinhole in the pipe that he would access through the ceiling of the lower condo. Nothing was the result of anything done in our condo!! Whew!!!

So...today was "baseboard" day and when we went for a visual inspection after 4:30pm...all was in place and finished. It looks great!



So...now to select wall colours
and clean the kitchen!
