After the Home Depot spruce flooring was delivered to Bicknell, Gaylord Flooring called. "We have a shipment of the jatoba flooring you liked coming in at a fabulous price, in case you'd like to reconsider..." The beautiful flooring we had loved, and denied ourselves, was being offered at a reduced price! Could we afford it now? Yes! Could we return the Home Depot spruce? Yes! OK - we're on! Jatoba it is.
We ordered 5" wide jatoba "rose, rustic". Not distressed, but with a "dog finish" - multiple coats of titanium for a durable, scratch-resistant finish. H. agreed to do the work, but we thought we should have a clue... so Andrew and I attended a workshop to learn about installation.
After several days of letting the new flooring acclimatize in the house, H. recruited his friend Dan to install it, and they are slaving away to get as much in as possible this weekend. Ahhh... visible progress, and fabulous wood everywhere! This is going to be soooo beautiful! Who needs rugs?
