Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeThe floor remains on the driveway but the room has been cleaned and is ready for laying the underlayment down. Well, at least the first patch. Figuring out how to do this without completely removing the furniture from the room has been challenging.
Second client task is making good headway. The problem has been reproduced so solving the problem can commence.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeOne client task complete. Another in progress. And the floor is in progress.
Of course the dog took advantage of this situation to kill our bed:
Which no longer raises and lowers. There should be a manual option.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, HouseThis week has been amazing. Amy went to Disney World from Friday to Tuesday. Evan, Cathy, and I went to Disney from Monday to Friday. I slept through Friday and spent Saturday tearing out the rest of the flooring in the basement that I’d spent the past year and a half putting down. We still found water under the floor from the February 23rd flood. A month later with dampness but no harm to the Nucore flooring. Amazing stuff.
Sunday’s focus is delivering for neglected clients on three projects, planning a scout meeting, balancing my books, and bringing the flooring in from outside where it has been drying since rains are coming again. It would be nice to begin putting the floor down but that’s dependent upon completing my programming. This time I am putting an underlayment down. Previously the manufacturer said none was necessary but this gives further moisture protection as well as sound damping and more insulation for a better temperature in the basement.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, HouseThis week Cathy and I volunteered to chaperone the Bearden Middle School Band to Walt Disney World. That was a blast and will take hours of typing to describe.
Yesterday we returned and I intended to use the beautiful weather to finish pulling up, drying, and replacing the basement floor which became waterlogged during the flood of February 23rd. However, I was so exhausted, I slept through Friday. Rains come tomorrow. Now at 2pm I finally am ready to begin this massive effort. Let’s see how far I make it.
