what happens when two impulsive people get together?

About two weeks ago Cory and I started talking about replacing our old carpet with some hardwood floors and new carpet. It was one of those casual conversations with a "we'll get to it in the next couple of months" attitude. About a week later Cory and I found ourselves looking at flooring in Tempe and before we knew it, we were swiping the card and leaving with a truckfull of materials. Within 24 hours our house suddenly became a demo-zone...


We even had our neighbor Chris come over and help us take out our old dated brick wall...it completely opened up our room!

I've decided that Cory and I are both too impulsive...one way we were simply talking about the possibility of new floors and a few days later we are waist deep in dust and glue fumes. Luckily we have some great friends who've helped us lay the flooring in our front room but we still have our entryway, hallway, and family room to go....and did I mention we have family coming to stay with us this Friday for Sam's wedding!? Yikes...we better get on this!

Good luck completing it before Friday! I'm sure it will look amazing when it's all done. You'll be glad you were impulsive and didn't wait months!

Having a deadline - a serious, people are staying here, deadline is always a helpful tool to get things done!

Good Luck!

PS - Ken laid our fake wood floor so if you need pointers he might be able to help.
