So, I just got done installing the new SLATTEN flooring upstairs. Overall, it wasn't that bad. What made it suck really was the radiators, which made it quite tricky to get the slats up the 20 degrees necessary to get the tongue of the next board into the groove of the last. After a fair about of cursing, I figured out how to slide the board along, which got it done. I still have to trim the trim so that it fits (the new floor is slightly higher), and then install news thresholds.

With any luck, I will get a chance to do that tomorrow or Tuesday. But, at least now we don't have to put shoes on every time we have to go to the bathroom at night. Unfortunately, the trim took off some of the paint, so we will have to fix that up, too. Ah well. It's still a lot better than it was.

It seems like every project around here just creates a few more, but I guess every few time the house ends up looking a little better.
