Fall Weather

October 4th, 2011 by Justin

Well we’ve turned the corner from Summer to Fall. The first real rain came yesterday, with the hassle that brings while trying to finish a floor without tracking mud and water all over the place. Luckily Erik and Tim are professionals.

Well it’s finally in! The Cumaru (Brazilian teak) herringbone pattern floor is nearly done. We installed the majority of the house months ago, but added the finishing touch with a beautiful pattern in the main room.
