OK............

I can solve this for you boys regarding getting down on the floor.......

Some years we had a rep from Idaho post a bill that would repeal gravity on the house floor........ Even the voters in Idaho noticed........ Bill Salli was a one term rep...........

This weekend I decided to tackle the projects of painting the lower bench work - Forest Green, and installing flooring in the train room.  As of tonight, the painting is complete and I got a good start on the flooring.  The way I feel right now from crawling on the floor all day - getting out of bed in the morning is going to be a challenge.  I will post pictures when I get the flooring complete.

John,
I was thinking of asking my Congressman sponsor and pass a bill prohibiting us old geezers from crawling on the floor. But then I remembered I can't even count on him to be honest much less pass a Bill in Congress.

Bet your Congressman would crawl on the floor for a bill: the larger the bill, the faster he'd scurry. 

I bet your right!

I want to get this floor done and I don't think that getting my Congressman involved will help - he is to busy spending my Grandkid's money. It sure was easier to install floors 20 years ago.

A certain politician offered to repeal the laws of physics to help those of us in the Auto industry meet their gas mileage mandates and make electric cars make sense. The scary thing is he got reelected.

Update on the layout:  Finished day two of the floor installation - as expected I was moving kinda slow this morning.  I'm making progress but every piece from here on out has to be cut.  I will post a few pictures later tonight.

Here are a few pictures of the layout room supporting it's fresh "Dark Forest Green" paint on the lower bench work.  I'm real happy with the way it frames the layout. In the final picture the new floor is starting to go in.

Thanks Bob

I got the floor about 90% complete and decided it's time for a fishing trip. I will take finish pictures once I have the moldings installed.

John,

The floor is really looking good. This past year I did the wood flooring in three bedrooms so I feel your pain. Great job!

Looks great John!  We installed similar flooring in the living area of our house last year.  By "we" I mean my wife and I wrote out the check and had someone else do the work.

Thanks Tom and Bob


I will be glad when that job is complete - I usually like to get jobs like that done before I move on but I already had this fishing trip scheduled with my Uncle. I needed a break - after driving for 4 hours I wasn't sure I could get out of the Jeep.

Well two days in the boat was just what the doctor ordered - no fish but I got rid of all the soar muscles from the flooring job.  I think I'll head back and finish that flooring job tomorrow.  The weather is still like summer here so the fish are not coming up the river yet.

She would love fishing for steelhead trout in the middle of the winter.  We fish until the River freezes over. Most years we can fish all year - I have only seen three years in the past 45 that we couldn't fish all winter.  Last year the river was frozen by Christmas because of global warming .

The flooring is all installed - just a few moldings to put in tomorrow and some touch-painting and I'll be back on the Stone Roundhouse project.  I will post a few pictures after the cleanup. The room sure looks different.
