Got wood?

Buying a home is actually a lot more work that you would think. After you take all the financial hurdles, its time to start thinking about all the practical stuff. Getting your address changed. Making sure all mail gets redirected. Changing your Internet and phone line. Throwing away all junk before you move: everything you don't want to do but have to do. part of that process is thinking about the interior of my new home. I have decided that I want a hardwood floor.

So that means looking for wooden floors. So yesterday I went looking for hardwood floors. I drove all the way to Tiel to a company called Fairwood. I didn't realize how much choice they have so I spend quite some time looking at the different options. Finally it comes down between two different choices: American Red Oak or African Afzelia. Red Oak is really a nice, lighter color, where the Afzelia is a lot darker and expensive. This Wednesday I'll probably get the quote by mail and I'll have to start planning and make some decisions what to get.
