In the mean time the floor is being installed in preparation for the cabinets installation next week.
I have no idea where Peter found his crew, but hey, they all work on weekends! Most likely the floor in the whole house won't be finished by Monday when the installation is going to take place, but only the kitchen area needs to be completed for the cabinets to be placed on top.

I like how the floor turns out as I was a bit worried at one point with the coloring. Just in case you are curious about which bamboo flooring I'm using, check out the Plyboo site. You are looking at Plyboo Stiletto Strand Bamboo Cerused Taupe. Strand bamboo is a better product than even the regular horizontal / vertical bamboo floor. It utilizes up to 84% of the raw materials. Learn more about Strand bamboo here. On top of that it's 3 times more durable than regular hard wood floor. This particular brand also passes the air quality test with no formaldehyde.
So far this is one of my more positive posts. However, I would still like to share with you one anecdote confirming the necessity of 100% monitoring of a renovation project.
I have 8 closets in the whole house. The flooring of these closets is a mesh of different materials including carpet, Pergo floor, laminate floor and original concrete. It's more expensive to change the flooring inside a closet, but I decided that it's just way too ugly and too much of an eye sore. So the order is that all the floor is going to be the same including the closets except the bathrooms. It cannot be more clear, right? NO. One of the closets still have the original floor. One out of 7. Good thing I was there on Saturday and caught it before they decided to leave that one particular closet alone. Seriously, they don't think! I really want that one closet to be different? I didn't notice that before as a lot of junk was piled up in there. Anyway, all is well now, but only because I caught it.
