Started flooring

We started flooring! It would be nice to have a nice floor so we can cut out the construction dust, and don't need to wear shoes everywhere. You don't wear shoes in the house in Japan. I still not used to this custom that just going in somebody's house without take off the thing that belong to outside. It's good when it emergency, though, like earthquake. Anyway, we wanted to have wood floor, but it was out of budget for us. We decided to go with laminate. It was much easier than I thought. I didn't use any glue, or nails. And it looks pretty nice!

床板はり始まりました！工事用の床ではなしに、普通の室内の床にかわるってのは大きな変化です。歩くたびに、この何ヶ月もの工事のほこりが舞う床とおさらば、どこに行くにも靴を履かなくてもよい。未だにこの誰かの家にお邪魔して土足で歩き回るのにはなじめない。地震のような緊急の際にはいいけどね。ま、ともかく、木の床板にしたかったのですが、予算外。結局ラミネートの床にしました。思っていたよりもえらく簡単。釘ものりもいっさい使わず床が張れる。いい感じ！
However, this always happen..... After I went all the way till last row, I found out there are too big gap to leave without, but too narrow to put last row in. Now I need to start over, and cut the first row..... Ah I remember this feeling.

ところが、やっぱりか。この部屋の最後の一列というところまでたどり着き始めて最後の一列を入れるには狭すぎて、入れないには広すぎる隙間を目にする。あーこの感じ覚えがある。もう一度一番最初まで分解して、最初の一列を細くする。
After few days working on this floor, work completed. Moved the pendant light we were temporary using in the kitchen. This will be our master bed room.

何日かの作業でマスターベッドルームの床板完成！キッチンで一時的に使っていたペンダントライトを取り付けた。
