How I ended up with a new mail box.

So, it all started last weekend when I got a new bamboo floor put in the living room…
Wait for it; there IS a connection…

Here is the old floor. Carpet. I don’t like carpet…

My parents had a bamboo floor put in their steampunk room a couple years ago and they love it. It’s tough, easy to clean, and very nice looking. So I went that route. Below you can see the progression as the installers did there thing.

Generic wood floor under the carpet.

There was a bulge in the floor!

So they cut out the wood…

And filled it in to level it.

Then the floor went in.

That’s a mighty fine floor…

Beautiful!

And into the hall.

Tada!!! Thank you Marco and Marco’s brother from Home Depot! 20180721_183806

So, you’re probably wondering about that mailbox… Well, our cabinet that we keep our router and modem in has wood legs. Fine for carpet. But to protect my new floor I had to run over to Ace to get these felt pads (note the cabinet in the background sitting on some left-over floor padding): 20180722_163242

Perfect! But when I was wandering around Ace looking for the felt pads, I came across this sweet mailbox. “I’ve been wanting a new mailbox!” I thought to myself… 20180722_130251
