Thursday sucked here. The replacement wood floor was installed. We had a water leak back in July, and that ruined the corner of the dining room floor. So the entire floor has to come out, and a new one installed. They use a jackhammer with a wide chisel like bade at a angel and that rips out the old floor. It was LOUD! The floor goes all the way from the formal dining room, through the entry foyer, down the hall and to the three bedroom entrances, and the laundry room and bathroom entrys.

Then the worst part was they started with a large floor polisher, only with a sanding disk on it to remove the old glue on the concrete. That created a huge cloud of dust. They had used plastic to isolate the living room and kitchen. They closed the doors to the other rooms. It was such a cloud of dust it set off the alarm system's fire detector. That calls the Fire Department and the alarm company. I was at the panel punching in the shut off mode, and it kept coming on. The alarm company called and I asked them to put it into test mode until 5:00 PM. That shut up the alarm, and I called the fire department and said it was not a fire, so no fire department arrived.

Then the glue they use on the concrete to glue down the boards stinks like sniffing glue. The got pretty much done, and came back on Friday to do a final clean up. Now we, well mostly my wife is cleaning up the dust that got on everything. Washing the front windows, cleaning out the two hall closets, and vacuuming the new floor. It does look nice.
