The bamboo floor project, which had previously been stalled since Crossmas, is almost complete. We're half way across the kitchen, with everything else completely finished, and all the tricky cutting and joinery behind us. One or two more days and we will be orgasmically finished laying planks. A day or two more and we should be able to finish the trim, which will be in a dark coffee to match the rest of the house and make the light bamboo floor pop. We've been slowed down by the necessity of running the tablesaw outside at a time that:

1) Won't piss of the neighbors
2) Isn't over 100 degrees
3) Allows us to see visually the relative positions of fingers and the blade

I finally got tired of only working for 2 hours a day, so tonight I attacked the woodshop, which had become so disorganized it was no longer safe to work in. I got about 2/3 finished cleaning it up, including making an organizer for the extra wood, and removing about half of what may well be the ugliest shag carpet in human history.

Once the floor is done we'll be throwing a snack-and-movie party to christen it.
