Blinds and Floor

Since the new windows are in, we’re now putting in the blinds in the rooms that have been completely painted.  We have already bought all the blinds because we had a 10% coupon at Home Depot which we used.  The first floor blinds are all vinyl blinds since they windows are higher and there is less of a chance for the cats to reach them.  The second floor blinds are aluminum.  We decided to go with the aluminum blinds upstairs because the windows are closer to the floor and the cats can easily reach them.  We’re hoping that the cats will not be able to destroy the aluminum then.  So far, I have installed the blinds in the windows in the master bedroom, kitchen, living room, and dining room.

George has been working on the subfloor in the living room and dining room.  We’re adding a new subfloor layer over the planks that is plywood.  We’re going to be leveling the floor out under the plywood so that above the plywood will be level.  Once that is done, we can start laying the laminate flooring, which is the last thing that needs to be done before we can start using the living room and dining room.
