Yep, the job that progressed at the same pace as the repaving of I-20 East is now almost done. The flooring planks are installed in the kitchen, pantry, and back-door alcove.
This is the kitchen. The floor is really a bit brighter (whiter) than the photo shows.

This certainly exceeds my minimum expectations. I'm so glad Joan did the painting and distressing of each plank, followed by meticulous coatings of polyurethane. By the way, the final coat included tiny, tiny particles of slip-resistant compound—something like micro-sand. And it works.
My own fan club
I was banished from the work area for about two days (while thousands of coats of polyurethane cured), so I went dumpster diving.
This old fan was tossed from a Decatur church renovation. The contractor agreed that I could take it, and I convinced him and a handy exterminator to load it into my truck. It pays to look old and helpless.
This spotless one-horsepower motor did not work. But at least the troubleshooting kept me busy and out of the house.
I have a half-horsepower motor that should fill the bill. I just hope it's the strong half of the horse.
Next time: Maybe the base trim
On the horizon: Painting the stairs in some decorative and unusual manner
