new floors

Ever since we have moved into this house we have needed to replace the back door and the hardwoods. The previous owners had rottweilers that chewed through the door frame and every time it rained water got in, soaked the floor in front of the door and caused water damage. We finally got around to doing all this last week. Here is what it looked like when they took the old floors out. Here is the hole that was in the sub flooring that they had to repair before putting the new floor down
This is the 'in process' photo of them ripping up the old floor. The carpet you see in the dining room is no longer there either. We loved the look, but they told us it would be way too expensive to try and leave it.
And here is a not so glamorous after picture--but what can you really do with floors:)


I'm very happy with the finished product and the guys that installed it were really nice...they even came back on Saturday to finish some of it out.
