Acclimate The Flooring

In order to get the new cabinets in the garage, we have to move the flooring.

So Gino figured out how many boxes of flooring we would need in order to do the main areas and then we prepared that many boxes. We left the remaining boxes sealed (we’ll acclimate them later) and moved and stored them in the formal dining room area. The boxes we opened and acclimated, we stacked (according to the manufacturers specifications) in the formal dining room and family room.

The dining room will be used to acclimate one pallet of flooring.

The family room area will acclimate another pallet of flooring.
We planned ahead and cut out the carpet below this area so we aren’t moving wood around before installing.

Beautiful strand bamboo resting 5 (or more) days before installation.
(the board with the blue tape is my gorgeous piece of wood – I told Gino he needs to put it somewhere so it can be seen!)

We have a lot of projects to do before this is actually laid down. Tomorrow the cabinets arrive and then my Father will arrive later in the evening to help us get this project started. Get your work gloves on!
