Out with the old. In with the new

Halie and I are embarking on a very ambitious flooring project in our home. When we bought our house 2 years ago the previous owner had put in builder's grade carpet for the quick sell. Well, it is already showing signs of wear in the high traffic areas. The previous owner also laid his own ceramic tile and let's just say that craftsmanship is not one of his gifts.

We've decided that we're going to be in this house for several more years so the floors need to be replaced at some point. We've decided to put tile in all of the high traffic areas as well as replace the existing ceramic tile. Halie paintstakingly picked out the perfect tile for us. The crew is coming this morning to start tearing stuff up. We will keep you posted on the progress. Check out the photo album for the before pictures. All the furniture and baseboards are removed, but you get the idea.
