Everything happened very quickly at the end of last year, so I have fallen behind terribly with the blog. I do hope you will please accept my apologies! Nevertheless, I am now back on track and will update you over the next little while with all that has been unfolding.
Below you will see the underlay for the flooring going in and then the gorgeous finished product. Vic had really wanted to have a solid bamboo floor but we simply could not afford it. Funnily enough, however, when the floor started going in, we noticed that it seemed to be a bit light in colour to be the merbau floating floor that we had chosen. We thought it was OK, so we just went with the flow. Then, we noticed that the tarp on top of the window box was looking loose and notified the builder, as we didn't want our precious new floor to be damaged. Unfortunately, our warning was not heeded and most of the floor was severely damaged by the rain that leaked in and had to be replaced.
It was confirmed weeks later that the floor that was put down (twice!) was in fact the bamboo that Vic wanted! Luckily, we only had to pay for the floor that we ordered - perhaps a bit of a bonus for all of the hassles and delays? Very lucky in any case!
