Default A New Home

Finally pulled the trigger on our own place here in HI. It's been a long time coming. Already have a house in Virginia Beach so this one is mostly an investment we'll live in for the next 3 to 5 years. One more stepping stone till our final home, we think....

It's a comfortable 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, 2 car garage town-home in Ewa Beach. With central air, very important! More than enough for us at the moment. As with everything else I own, its time to start modding. First, Bamboo flooring on the bottom floor then tile in all the bathrooms. There is a small office space which will by my new micro man-cave, that'll get bamboo floors too. The plan is to pull out that tiny built-in desk and figure out a custom solution.

Here are a few pics to kick it all off.

Cherokee loaded up with flooring. Yes Kal, safety inspection expired 3 days ago.



Flooring acclimating to the rooms.

Thanks.

My knees are shot, I'm having someone else do the labor. Plus I got my two little rug rats running around which won't allow me to do pretty much anything other than watch them.

That is the new game station, it was part of the compromise. The deal was that we would rip it out and get a pre-built L-shaped or custom built workstation.

Not sure on the house warming, I'll keep you posted

Didn't get a chance to test out the usual servers. It was a quick speed test and out the door I went.

Tiled the downstairs bathroom and finished installing the floor. Going to give the bamboo another week and a half before installing baseboards for acclimation and expansion as recommended by the manufacturer.
