Recently we started on a hardwood job for a homeowner here in Bethany Beach.  This homeowner had an addition built on the back of their home and the challenge was to blend the new hardwood flooring in with the existing hardwood at their meeting point.  Our first picture shows the existing wood flooring at the back door which was soon to be removed to allow traffic from the existing living room to the new addition/sunroom.

To accomplish this we had to remove some of the existing wood flooring and "finger" in the new to this area.  This next shot shows where the sliding door has been removed and the existing flooring has been removed to allow Josh to weave in the new flooring with the old.

At the new entrance from the kitchen to the sunroom we had another obstacle in regard to the existing tile floor.  Since the sliding door was removed here and our homeowner did not have any left over tiles we had to come up with a way to make this transition look good.   Thea and Jeff  (our homeowners) picked out a pebble from our showroom that cooridinated with their existing 12" x 12" tiles.  Josh and Matt removed the existing tiles across this opening first and prepared the floor for the new pebbles.  This picture shows Josh getting started in placing those pebbles at this doorway.

Meanwhile, the hardwood is well under way.

This picture shows the pebbles installed and the following day Matt is seen cleaning up an excess mortar that bled through to the front of the stone.  Matt is getting ready to apply a sealer to the stone and then grout this area.  We can see the hardwood has been laid out and is ready for Josh to butt it to the L-edge at the front of the pebbles.
