patch work continued...

yep had a day off with my wife and this gave me a chance to finish the patch job on the hallway floor. first i had to plunge cut the existing flooring so that the joints would be staggered (as in pic above). i had saved some of the old wood flooring from the bathroom reno so that i could blend it with  the existing. when we bought the house and removed the carpet we discovered a patch job, we always kept it covered with a hallway rug but no need for that now.

 

here's a pic of the hallway with the laying of the wood flooring done, all that's left now is a light sand job and a healthy coat of sealant. did you notice the small black box by the bottom of the doorway in the back? any guesses as to what it may be? go ahead zoom in, whats your thought(ill give ya a hit, it has something to do with the holidays in a round about way).
