A New Floor

When it comes to remodeling a room in your house, the choices are endless.  You can do little upgrades like painting the walls and hanging new curtains, or you can do major upgrades like knocking down walls and redoing the floors.  If we were ever to buy the home we are living in now (which may be an option in a couple of years) there are a lot of things that I would want to remodel, starting with the floor.

This is a mobile home, so the floor has small dips in it in places, from where it has settled.  I have lived in a few different mobile homes since I've been married, and they have all had this issues.  I would want Junior to go underneath and put some type of supports in where it's dipping, and then I want him to take up the linoleum and put down Wickes laminate flooring.  

The linoleum that is in it now is wood grain looking, so it looks like it's a hardwood floor.  I really do like the way it looks, so I would want a laminate floor that is similar in color.  I found the one in that picture, and that is really close to what we have now.  It matches all my furniture, and is durable, so I think I could convince Junior to put that down.  I am sure I would have to help him, which is fine by me.  I kind of like working on the house.  I even have my own hammer.

Yeah, I'm that cool.
