Looks nice, it is a big improvement.

How do you like the cork floors? I need find someone who reps them down here.

I love them so far. So much softer and warmer than hardwood and tile.

I got the flooring at Lumber Liquidators. They have the absolute best price around.

I saw that LL had them, what I want is the "professional discount from one of the reps, they keep telling me that they exist but I haven't used it yet. If I am going to refloor a house the discount would be nice.

I talked them down a little off of their sale price.

The only thing is that I overestimated the waste (ended up with about 2% waste instead of the 10% I originally thought) so I had a lot to take back. That stupid 20% restocking fee chapped my *** big time.

Contractors figure more waste because they don't want the hassle of saving every little piece to see if it will fit somewhere else.

10% is pretty standard. I cut it down to 5% because I'm willing to try and use up as much scrap as possible.

Hopefully you saved a little for future repair.

That looks great. So, when are you all coming up to Woodward to refinish the wood floors in my two little bed rooms? I'll give you some of my wild sand plum jelly. :P
