Last night we met with the floor guy. It was incredibly frustrating.

He came into our house and quickly measured the floor. He abruptly asked us what we want to do about the urine spots. We thought maybe he could just refinish those as well and maybe with stain and the polyurethane they won't be so noticeable. He strongly advised against that saying that when he sands up the floor the entire house will "smell like wee-wee". I threw up a little bit in my mouth.

So he's quick to leave but I stopped him and asked what our options are. The poor man was hard of hearing but at the same time he didn't seem very helpful or nice. Which is what you really want when someone is providing you with a very expensive service. He basically told us that we just need to replace half the flooring in each room. I was on the verge of tears as he left so instead of working on the house we indulged in happy hour at Iron Starr.

Today I was so stressed out thinking about getting the floors done on time and being forced to use this weirdo because he's the only one that will take credit cards. After talking to both of our moms we decided it would be best to call other contractors and at least get a second opinion. I'm okay with replacing half the floor (if necessary) but I'd rather do it with someone I'm more comfortable forking over thousands of dollars to. We're also racing against the clock with our move-in date approaching at what seems like the speed of light.

So I called another contractor and he was so nice. He's going to come out on Monday to look at the floor and will be able to work on them a week before we move in!

Oh! We did buy a used washer and dryer set off of a nice guy for a good price. Those are being delivered this evening.
