Grammie Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I was tired of waiting for my floors to be put in so I DID IT MYSELF. Almost 900 sq. feet in a day and a half. It's true if you want something done DO IT YOURSELF. lol Love Grammie. Thought I would brag as I'm feeling kinda proud of myself. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollyrw Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Wow! What kind of floor did you put down? I've got vinyl in my studio and it's such a pain to sweep it all the time. I wish I had carpet so I could vacuum. I've been thinking about those peel and stick carpet tiles. Edited to say: Ah ha, now I see it. The picture wasn't there when I looked the first time.

bobbi Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Good job Tammie! How on earth did you get down on the floor to do it? Or better yet, how did you ever get back up? I, too, have always been a do it yourself-er however it takes a bit more now to get 'er done! The floor looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boni Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Is that Pergo, or smiliar? My SIL put theirs in and found it easy. I've done tile and parquet, but I leave carpet for the experts. I can handle little pieces, but I'll never do tile again without help. This is your new studio, right? It's going to be really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I love that type of flooring. I have done the kitchen and bathroom with that pergo as well. Now I would like to do one of the bedrooms. good thing about it is no need to glue, nail etc. just lay it down> Great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagecl Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Way to go, Tammie. I know what you mean about needing to do something to get it done! My DH is all thumbs (he is great in business) around the house so many of the honey-do's are mine...in fact most of them are mine:o Although he does mow the lawn when he is home:D:D:D Looks awesome!

April W Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 LOOKS GREAT!!! I'm just about ready to rip out the carpet in our house and put down wood floors myself, which is what I wanted to start with but was told 'You won't like them." In the end I will get what I wanted anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grammie Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thank you gals. I can't believe that I did it but I did. It is just beautiful in person. yes this is the room for the machines. There are THREE large bedrooms on the other side of the room. One is about 26 ft and will be where the sewing computer and cutting areas will be so my longarms will not be so crowded with other things. This is just under half the space. When I get the other rooms finished I will post some pics. Carpet goes in the Bedrooms for warmth in the winter. I should have these done by the end of the month. And I cannot wait to get my lighting in. Wow it will make a huge difference, that and the small kitchenette which is the opposite end of the pic. Thanks again ladies. I cannot wait to see this studio finished. It is going to be so awesome to work in. I hope to afford LARGER windows at some point as the views are spectacular to say the least. Hugs. Grammie Tammie It's never as fast as you would like it to be. lololol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Grammie: You should brag; it looks great! I've been waiting forever for my DH to fix kitchen faucet; do you do those, too?

Grammie Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 It was so funny when I read this Vicki. Not 15 minutes ago I went to get some water and my gasket popped on my faucet and I got sprayed from every angle. Not what I expected but yes I will get a new one and put it in. I'm used to it. lololol My husband is wonderful and a jack of all trades but he is never here so I've learned. There are alot of GIRLY things that Men call a Man's job. They just don't want you to know it. You would'nt need them. What else would they be needed for? lololol Just kidding guys........ Too funny. Faucets are really easy. lololololo Hugs Grammie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
