Musical Flooring


To your left we have a (not so good) picture of (someone else's) Harmonics Laminate Flooring. I believe it's in Brazilian Cherry, but I can't really tell because the glare hurts my eyes every time I try to get a closer look. The reason I am posting this picture is because Brad just took a box truck to our friendly neighborhood Costco yesterday and filled it with 200 boxes of said laminate flooring. That is approximately 4,000 square feet of fake wood. We also purchased all the stuff that goes underneath the floor, which is 20 some boxes of floor kit. This all came about because of our last Costco coupon mailing. We noticed they had a coupon for laminate flooring. $5 off each box. Now, being Costco, the flooring was already cheap. $5 off each box made the flooring equal about $1.25 per square foot (including the underneath stuff). Sooooooo. Despite the fact that we don't actually have a HOUSE in which to install this flooring, we are the proud owners of a couple thousand pounds of floor. We ended up going with the Brazillian Cherry because it really looked attractive on the picture on the box, and also because it was the only color left that we could get that many boxes of. Let's guess why. Because we went to use the coupon on the very last day of the sale, of course. They actually had to get it from another store because ours only had half the amount we needed, but that's another story. The customer service desk was thrilled.... Especially when we told them we had to pick it up in a truck the next day because we really didn't have the time to get it that afternoon... And oh, we were paying mostly in cash, but wanted to write a check for some of it.... And what is their return policy exactly...

I'm sure good old Nathan will remember us for a while.
