Flooring

Daughter helped me nearly finish her floor today. One strip along one side and the closet are all left to do. Ran out of tiles. (Didn't have the room dimensions with me when I bought the tiles, so just guessed. I was close.) 

It looks really good and she's excited. She likes the room as it's taking shape. Very happy with all aspects- the bed, the painting, the floor. She likes how easy the floor will be to keep clean.

One thing came to light while I was working on this. I have rather firmly established that the two rooms at that end of the house were built in the late 70's. While doing the floor, I found absolutely no evidence that previous flooring had been installed in there at any point. Which indicates that the same carpet has been in that room for nearly 40 years. That room has had an odor which I could not stand since we moved in. I think this explains it. 

So, I can get to work on the base for her bed now. Shouldn't take me more than 2-3 hours. Though I will add drawers and paint later.
