It is amazing to me how little can be accomplished without first making a bigger mess that involves bigger holes.
There was a triangle of area where the wood floor ended and the new kitchen floor begins. However, in order to patch the wood floor, every partial board has to be removed. The triangle is now looking like this.

And where the wall was removed between the dining and living rooms it now looks like this.
You can see the narrow rectangle down the center where the wall used to be. That's a whole lot of floor that had to be removed in order to fix it.
Fortunately the wood floor man was able to find the exact same floor we had originally installed. This was a happy thing because the flooring company has since gone out of business. It's great there were a couple of boxes hanging out in a warehouse for us to use.
Tomorrow he comes back to install the flooring and the other workmen should be here to finish the cabinets and start on the moulding.
