The Biggest Mistake of the Year!

What's the hardest part of blogging? I say it's coming up with the over-dramatic Titles to my posts. I could never cut it as a new producer/editor having to continually create sensational headlines, but here it is, "The Biggest Mistake of the Year!" I know some of you may be thinking that it occurred during early voting when I accidentally checked Barack Obama (no that didn't really happen--are you insane?), but the biggest mistake is starting the project I committed to a year ago--Claire's hardwood floors. I truly believe I may have let down all husbands across America. I could have held out for at least another 2-3 years, but in a moment of weakness I actually started a home improvement project. The second biggest mistake of the year? Doing a pretty decent job at installing them. Now, Julie has started coming up with all sorts of new projects using the ego building line, "Well, you're doing such a great job with Claire's floors." I'm sorry men. I'm weak. Please forgive me.

Drumroll please....

The room is ready, but am I?

The first board is down.

The critical first 10 rows. As important as a firm foundation.

Over halfway finished!

A closeup of my fine work :)
