Not much house progress last week during Thanksgiving, but we're back on flooring this week!

Osker fell in love with Jada, a Tibetan Spaniel, during her holiday visit.

Apparently Osker and I aren't allowed in our new house anymore.  Just because flooring is going down?  Just because it's muddy outside?  We don't mind.  We love tearing around the empty house.

The master bedroom, den, hallway, and living room are done except for the last board against the edge.  

Dad pressed 120 lbs of apples this weekend and got
about 4 gallons of cider.  I'm a good helper because I love fruit and I can keep the floor clean.  I've been grazing apples, plums, and pears for months now.  They can be unripe or rotten--I eat them all!!  Unfortunately I have to go poo in the middle of the night, so the folks are hoping the fruit stops dropping soon!  Osker doesn't eat as many fruits and veggies as I do.  He's more of a carnivore.

We had a flooring guy help us get the wood floor started.  He built a frame around the slate on the hearth, then we snapped some lines and started laying the boards!!  It's sort of a back breaker.  Mom likens it to knitting; one row at a time.
