The Flood - A Blessing in Disguise!

We had a flood in the basement suite this Spring.  It was scary at the time but the updates make it all worthwhile.  Chris ended up laying all the floor so that we could improve the quality of flooring.  It meant long days for him as he had just started a new job.  Also, Isabelle had just been born when it came time to lay the floor and put up the casings and baseboards so I was relegated to "single mom" status for awhile.  It was a bit overwhelming but it is so wonderful to have our tenant back in this month and have the extra work come to an end.  We still need to paint a bunch of the trim, the various doors and we would love to re-paint the yellow kitchen and its cabinets but that can wait until the Fall.  

I'm posting this for family members who have seen our suite before and may want to see how the new floor turned out. :)
