The safe is refinished and the floors are going down. Had to back up and punt on the floor. The laminate flooring sounded terrible on the concrete floor so we pulled the four rows we had done back up and laid some OSB (otherwise known as Oh S**t Bob) and started over. Come and sit a spell at Phrog and Munkey Folk Ranch and watch me make mistakes.
