Floor progress, mac & cheese, daffodils

After thinking about the problem I was having with the floor - which was the planks not lining up straight - I decided last night to remove the two rows I had installed Tuesday night and beat the begabbers out of the remining floor to get it straightened up. I needed to move the floor about 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch. Thank goodness I was able to do that and then proceeded to put the flooring back in place using adhesive. The floor that is glued down feels so much better under the foot. I got two more rows installed until I had enough of that for one night. Here is where I am right now. I have the next row already laid out.

After I get those next two planks installed and get the tricky one under the duct installed

I need to get the area behind the furnace done. This is where the new hot water heater is going to be installed.

I am going to ask the plumber today about moving the condensate line to run along the wall.

I will have to take all the shelving down on both walls so they can get the old HW heater out and have a bit more room to get the new one in. Let's see if I can get rid of at least some of the crap stuff I have loaded on these shelves.

It will be nice to get the boxes of flooring out from in front of my design wall!

I did take the time to make mac and cheese in my new cast iron pan.  Meals for three or four days!

and I took time to enjoy my daffodils

Just to let you know I am not superwoman; I am just stubborn and tired! This is a big job I will be glad to have done.
