Started at 7am

First Wade (or Waylin) cemented all the sub-floor seams.  Drying time was about 15 minutes during which he started measuring and thinking on how to cut and lay the vinyl.

The tool of the day is a nifty little cart that has two rollers on it that hold the vinyl, making it very easy to unroll and cut the pieces.
The adhesive is a bright baby blue and also had to dry until tacky before the vinyl was laid down.  And while the flooring doesn't have much of an odor, the adhesive does and the glue on the seams really is strong.  If you click on this picture it will enlarge and give you a good look at the flooring.  I think it is a perfect choice, not too shiny and also age appropriate for the house.  Thanks to MSDeb for her assistance with the choosing!

And now we are done and just waiting for the seam sealer to set up and dry.  Six hours before I can let the boys into the kitchen.  It's a good thing I have to go to work because by the time I am back the baby gate can come down.
Lest anyone forgets the chaos of all this, this is the view from the tub.

So exciting! But it always looks like there's a bird sitting in the middle of the room ...
