The Floor, cont.

So I finally managed to get the builder back today to lay the new floor. He's done a decent job of it -- BUT (and isn't there ALWAYS a 'but' with builders?) I found I couldn't shut the door to the room! The new flooring is about 1.5 mm thicker than the old. Now, I KNOW he had to take the door off to do the work, so you'd think he might check????
Anyway, though I'm really not a woodworker, I do have the right tools and it only took me 15 minutes to sort it (I guess a professional would have taken about 5).

There's a lovely phrase around here, "I wouldn't pay him in washers"!
