In a rare display of stupidity (no, really!) we decided that since Ken had two weeks off for Christmas/Hanukkah/New Year's, we'd lay 1300 sf of Pergo ourselves. Our foolish but loyal friend and chef Tommy agreed to come out from Chicago and help us (bringing record-breaking low temperatures for the week!)
This before picture just doesn't do the ugly ceramic tile justice. Picture commercial grade, rough enough to only be able to clean it with a rotary brush, with a pinkish cast to it. Has anyone ever seen me wear pink?? Okay, besides Alysa's wedding when I had no choice.
You have to click on this one to see the shredded carpet up close, as well as the cat who's totally proud of himself for doing it. Try to shred Pergo, monster Shadow!
Ken and Tom lay the first strip... not fun since we didn't have a continuous wall, and had to 'make our own' through the doorways. Coffee cup is a nice touch, Supervisor Tom.
Walter enjoys the Bowling Alley look. Sorry I didn't get any video of him figuring out how to walk on it without wiping out. He and Sean still take an occasional running start and get a good slide into the wall.
