Laying the floor of the studio

This is where the hard work for all of the studio was done - in the garden.  It looked beautiful today in the bright sunshine and there was a cooling breeze.  Before starting the measuring and sawing the lovely and very hard-working man-in-my-life needed to go on a photo-shoot.  Relaxing!

He then went on to exceed all expectations!  We thought we would 'have a look' at the floor and see what we ought to do.  We were only going to make plans for laying it 'soon', after all,  we were still feeling the after-effects of last week and the hardboard escapade!  

But things moved on rather quickly.  No sooner had we tried the insulation on the floor and positioned a couple of boards from the laminate pack on top, than we realised it looked fine and we should actually try laying a couple of strips. 

The boards actually clicked together rather well and looked great.   They had to be cut to the right length but that was all there was to it.  No glue, no nails no problems!!!!  What could have gone wrong?  After the hardboard we expected grief all the way.

It actually took us about three hours to do the whole floor and the end result is shown in the picture below. Amazing!  Our daughter was over the moon!
