While picking out flooring yesterday, I received a text from our realtor/friend Ada Williams saying that our "new" house had closed. Daughter-in-law Ana and Grandson Gabriel had accompanied Dave and myself to the house yesterday morning to meet Ada and get the keys to our new family kingdom.
Dave had measured all the main floor living spaces in both houses and the windows (just in case something turns up at Goodwill) and after biding Ada goodbye we went to a flooring store where the sale items didn't appear to be on sale and the salesman didn't seem to know the price of anything.
Our next stop was Lumber Liquidators. We purchased hardwood flooring 20 years ago from them and were pleased to find just what we wanted. This time we are going for bamboo. Being, as one friend says, "Old Growth Hippies," we wanted something that is sustainable. I also wanted something that is prefinished so that we can lay it and get moved in! If you aren't familiar with Lumber Liquidators they are a no frills flooring outlet. Enough flooring for our two houses (we all decided on the same floor) can only be got by Dave driving around the Puget Sound Area to all of the outlets collecting it, but our salesman found and claimed enough for the job so we ended our first day of owning Haeck Haven on Ana Alley feeling accomplished. Now to rent that truck!
