On vacay week. The toddler keeps asking if this is the weekend. Went and looked at flooring since that's all we can do as we impatiently wait for our house to close. Got more pho to live up to the last of this cold snap. Going to venture to the park this afternoon. Probably do city stuff the next few days.

Curious, where did you look at flooring and would you recommend? We need to start thinking about this for our house and I am overwhelmed...

Not op but in the past 15 years and two houses, we replaced flooring 3 times. We used Floor Trader right outside Henrico/Goochland for the first home. Spent money and did costen floors when we sold that home. We recently used luxury vinyl plank at Floor and Decor for our new house. If you are able to, installing flooring is very simple. It saves us thousands of dollars by just doing it ourselves. The only downside is that it takes longer (it was just the wife and I and no experience).

Thanks for the info/places to look into. Appreciate having a starting point. We have definitely discussed doing it ourselves, but with two kids under 3 it will come down to the quotes we get and the cost savings vs. overall brain damage :) Pre-kid we almost certainly would've DIYed it. We shall see...
