Bekka has a dance floor!

A couple of weeks ago we (Steve, Bekka, and I) installed a dance floor in Bekka's spare room above the garage.

You see, she's really gotten into Irish Step Dancing, which is really great, but also really hard on her joints. The best surface for practicing Irish Step Dancing is on a sprung hard wood floor. Now, that would be pretty expensive (as would the pre-made dance floors you can buy). The room above the garage had carpet down, so we pulled the carpet up, left the carpet padding and installed laminate over the pad to create the spring she needs.

First we remove the carpet (who knew that the carpet pad matched the walls!)


Then we lay the floor
