Wow, I'm floored

Wowza, I did not realise floors were so heavy.

I just finished 7 boxes of Floor upstairs. They weigh a little over 50lbs each. 25kg, that's what... 60lbs? Anyways this post isn't about math. It's about... uh...

So wood floors are heavy! And they have to acclimate to their environment before you can install them. As their end-environment is my future bedroom, and not the hallway, they had to be moved. Also my furniture gets here in a week and I don't want to sheepishly apologise to the movers every 5 minutes about the 7 boxes of heavy flooring that are in their way. Also also, I would like to buy a bed for that bedroom, which cannot float, and has a 3 week lead time because it will be made bespoke. But floors have to acclimate to their environment for a whole week at least, and it'll take time for me to install the floors and I'd like to feel confident in putting a whole bed on these floors by the time they are done... which means allowing time to cure/set/whatever.

So I had to move the floors up now. Whilst living alone. 600 miles from any loved ones! Or even really acquaintances!! What a great thing that I did not fall down the stairs with a 25 kilo box of wood. That'd put a huge damper on the move... woodn't it?

Hahaha wood puns, I bet that one really FLOORED YOU.

Anyways maybe I'll report back after I've glued floor to subfloor. In a week.

Okay, okay, adhered the floors... or whatever. It's not like I'm using a glue stick. It's some fancy floor adhesive... which I still must buy. Hm. In a week.

Anyways I have to decide what to do with the pure shitass carpet that the previous owners left in the room. It's garbage. But I don't want it to be garbage, I want to reuse it... any ideas? Pop 'em over to me via email.
