In our ceaseless quest to stimulate the U.S. economy, Diane and I called on the wizards of Brady Flooring to install a new hardwood floor in our dining room. The dining room had been carpeted, but Diane decided that a hardwood floor would be more dramatic. After two days of hammers pounding and power saws keening, the Jacks Creek Gunstock flooring transformed our dining room. We love the rich color and the warm ambiance. If you’re thinking about a hardwood floor, I’d recommend you take a look at www.andersonfloors.com. This is a high quality product at an affordable price.
Nice digs. Reminds me of the reform school.
I couldn’t resist the “Gunstock” oak flooring, Bob. It really does look like the wood that would be on a gunstock.
Looks great!
Next time you visit us, you’ll have to check it out, Patti!
That’s a dining room? Looks like a living room or den. The floor is very nice. What kind of a final finish does it have? Poly? I’m about to live with hardwood floors for the first time and I’m uncertain what it needs in he way of maintenance.
No, that’s not our dining room, Rick. It’s a photo from the JACKS CREEK web site that shows the rich color of the hardwood. According to the installers, all you have to do is dust the floors with a Swiffer.
If that reminds you of a reform school, Cap, then you went to a REALLY upscale one!
Nothing but the best for Cap’n Bob, Rick.
I guess I’m the only one who knows that line from The Three Stooges. Sigh.
I’m not a Three Stooges expert, Bob.
Three Stooges? Manny, Moe and Jack, right?
So George, why no picture of YOUR dining room floor?
It’s part of my attempt to preserve an air of mystery, Rick. Of course, visitors to the Kelley manse can check out the Gunstock flooring.
I recently installed fake wood floor in my kitchen-over the tile that was there. Best thing I ever did. I just dust, sweep and occasionally wash lightly. That tile with all that grout to keep clean nearly undid me. Fifteen minutes a week v. hours.
We’re not fans of tile either, Patti.
Those benighted souls not versed in Stooges lore (and everyone else) need to know that IFC has been running Stooges marathons on Saturday morning. Maha? Aha!
It’s nice to know The Three Stooges live on, Art.
As anyone who ever visited a Pep Boys store knows, the names I gave are for the Pep Boys, Manny Moe and Jack, not the Stooges. I did this On Purpose, of course, pulling Bob ‘s leg, but he didn’t weigh in again. Sorry Art, I guess I’m benighted. Stooges and Abbot & Costello drive me from the room every time. I can’t handle Little Rascals either.
The only Stooges lines I remember, Rick, are: “Niagara Falls! Step by step, inch by inch…” The fact that I was born and bred in Niagara Falls might have something to do with it.
Nice. We had the rugs ripped out in the bedroom and den last year and the floors stripped and refinished. Now all three of our big rooms (including the living room/dining room) are wood. It’s cleaner, better for allergies and makes the rooms look bigger.
What can be wrong with that?
Good choice.
Out allergist hates carpeting, Jeff. And she recommends we get rid of any fabric furniture as soon as it’s 10 years old. Of course, Diane is delighted by this philosophy.
George, tell Diane it’s true – Jackie has boxes of Swiffer stuff from Costco and it’s easy as pie to keep the floors nice.
Rick, we were astounded a few years ago when my sister teased my mother about having dated one of Manny, Moe or Jack (can’t remember which) as a kid in the 1940’s.
You have a colorful family, Jeff! Dating a Stooge…it doesn’t get much better than that.
Jackie says after Swiffering, you might need to use the electric broom to pick up anything too heavy for the broom.
I’ll pass this advice on to Diane, Jeff. How was Vegas?
