Let The Flooring Begin!

In an earlier post, I mentioned we needed to have our floors redone. That "adventure" started this morning. Since we didn't have a good grasp on what room we would have access to in our house, on what date and at what time, my wife (totally without my knowledge) made sure:

She and I both had access to snacks
She and I both had access to clothes for working out and taking the door out.
We had access to the dog wipes
We had access to dog treats, food and water
She was in communication with the design consultant to ensure the right color stain was being ordered.
She was in communication with the project manager to ensure they remembered things like: Where the new in-floor outlets needed to be roughed in, we're wanting square shoe, not 1/4 round, don't cover up the fire place gas valve, let us know when the crew plans to break for lunch and end for the day. She's been phenomenal. I need to be better a driving the conversations to show her I am interested and invested in taking load off of her, so she feels safe letting go of the reins.
