The hardwood floors are all in! This is the upstairs master bedroom and den. The 5" white oak boards (mix of rift-sawn and quarter-sawn for wood geeks) are both glued and nailed down. We originally planned to orient the boards the other way, but for the (damp) coastal climate, the hardwood contractor thought it was important for the boards be nailed to the joists to avoid warping. Now that we've seen it, we really like this orientation, so we're happy it worked out this way. For the observant, the baseboards will be showing up soon.
In more wood news, they're working on the deck. It's slow work, because they're using hidden fasteners.
Meanwhile, the tile guys are moving along. Most of the tile floors are finished except for grouting. Here how the downstairs master bath is progressing.
Next up is cabinets. All the bathroom vanities are in, and the kitchen cabinets are arriving on Thursday.
