Bamboo!

We told you earlier that we had hoped to re-finish the wood floors in the living room, parlour and front entryway of the Lacey house. In fact, John had rented the sander and spent about 15 hours doing just that. Well, unfortunately, they were too far gone and would not have looked good. So we thought and thought and got just a teeny bit discouraged. Ok, a lot discouraged. And then I suggested bamboo. John looked into it and found some. The bamboo is tongue and groove and installed just like our oak hardwood floors. It is actually just as tough too. The planks are finished, so after dropping a few bucks (quite a few), we will have a lovely bamboo floor in the Lacey house. Evidently you have to let it "sit" in the new environment after you open the box so that it will not contract or expand after you have installed it. John will install it sometime next week.
