Good-bye Columbus

Is anyone bored with these endless family room posts? Anyone...anyone? Okay, well. This is likely the last one. As you see there, Satan is approximately two-thirds finished laying the floating laminate floor that will take the place of the ugly subfloor. Those little black things you see at intervals along the base board are spacers keeping a little bit of room between the new floor and the wall. When finished, those spacers will be removed, the floor will indeed "float", and we'll install painted quarter-round molding all along the bottom.

I've had a lovely nearly four-day weekend, with today being day four, Columbus Day. Yes, there are still those of us who actually still score a day off on this obscure holiday. My Dad came for a visit yesterday and left just now. I submitted to the obligatory barbecue sandwich (Dad's favorite food) yesterday and narrowly missed complete carb overload at the doughnut shop this morning when I persuaded Dad to drive on by rather than stop for breakfast. He settled for your basic old fashioned breakfast at an old local haunt. He enjoyed grits, I enjoyed country ham. We both, I fear, may have been a little worse for the grease.
