Tuesday Photo Challenge – Floor

Welcom to week 141 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge. Yes, this post is a bit later in the day, as I’m in the middle of a sizeable DIY project. Last week’s round up is on the schedule for tomorrow, after I finish my project.

During the break from work between Christmas and New Year, I thought it would be a good idea to tear out the 30+ year old carpet in our living and dining rooms and replace it with a laminate wood floor. This gets us to this week’s theme of Floor! The word can be either a noun or a verb, so feel free to take it into the direction of your creative choosing.

Of course, you can be floored with this assignment, or simply floor it and drive it as fast as possible :-). Lots of ways to go and I’m sure you’ll come up with some rather cool ones!

Here’s the floor under construction…

When is my Pergo finally Prego?

At this point, the dining room is done and the living room is just past halfway. All the tricky bits, that connect the two rooms are past now. Just more flooring, and then it’s time for the baseboards and door way molding to finish things up. Then the corgis get their racetrack back!

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

I look forward to seeing what lifts me up off the floor!

    Happy New Year Frank. You have my utmost respect for such a good job!
    I’ve borrowed your photo for my post as I have a tale of two floors.

      Smart hubby! The biggest trick is to leave space between the floor and the wall, so that it can expand. Carpet tiles are a great solution 🙂

      Happy New Year!

    Hi Frank, Thanks for the challenge (and congrats on your floors 🙂 ). I did a post showing me at two ages, younger and now, on the floor — I’ve learned so much between those times and share about that.

    How did your floors turn out? They look beautiful, from what I can see.

    Happy New Year! Blessings to you and your wife. Debbie

    1. jansenphoto Avatar

      Happy New Year, Debbie! Yes, the floor is finished and looks fantastic. It was worth the effort to get it just right.

        Yay! That’s great, Frank. Congratulations. 🙂
