I have SO lived that kind of stuff!

Our first act of home ownership involved gutting the living room walls to the studs, scraping slimy insulation out of the wall cavities and shoveling off the living room carpet!!

I am SO happy that things are shaping up at your house. You will always love your new floor, because you really earned it!

Beautiful! I don't remember if you mentioned-- is it real wood or laminate? Real wood is wonderful if you can afford it, but we have a laminate floor that is 10 years old now, and still looks great. We glued it to the subfloor rather than floating it like most people do, so it feels more like a wood floor.

Oh my! That looks amazing!!

This room is laminate. The rest of the house has the original hardwood floors. This room was an addition. It connected the main house to a garage that they turned into the master bathroom. Instead of taking down the shingles from the outside of the house and garage before connecting them...they just left them, for 15 yrs.

BTW.....
This was what the room looked like when we bought the place.

Mustard yellow, light blue wet bar, green outdoor shingles and a grape purple painted floor.

Gotta ask...did you 'have' to put the sleepers above the existing floor? We put radiant heat in a sandwich between two floors, so needed to put the same size sleepers throughout the rest of the main floor so the height would be the same. We cut 3-4" strips of scrap 3/4" T&G for our sleepers and just put them down on the first subfloor.

Oops, forgot to say that the floor looks great!

The sleepers are on a poured concrete pad. (part of the old garage)
Dang girl! I wish we had thought about heat strips!!!!
