snapping the chalk line



more than a week since i've been to the condo. it felt like forever! but my dad has been there working (on stuff i'm not strong enough to help him with). i guess i'll have to start lifting soup cans and eating spinach.

none the less, it felt good to be back today. that same familiar cat smell in the air. at least the living room and bedroom are smelling fresh and clean!

so we did a little putty work and then broke out the ol' tape measure and starting creating a grid to find "center" in my giant living room. after more mental math than i thought i would ever need to do again, and marking tiny pencil dashes on the walls, we got to do the fun part: snapping the chalk lines!



to finish prepping the floors for laying the final planks tomorrow, we rolled out, trimmed-to-fit, and taped down the padding for under the wood planks. by the end, i had the urge to do somersaults and cartwheels across the soft padding...
