There was hardwood floors throughout the house except in the new addition.
|
|
|
|
|
Before laying down the new floor, first I had to do repairs in the dinning room.
|
|
|
|
|
Tim and his handy saws all cuts away the dry rot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, we cut it all away and replaced the wood
|
|
|
|
|
Put in new plywood and tar paper
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And after sanding drywall and making a mess its done.
|
|
|
|
|
Now its onto installing the floor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tear up the short pieces.
|
|
|
|
|
Use a fence to get a straight cut.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Poof, all gone. Ok, now I'm ready to start.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All done with the dining room. Time for a beer and a hot tub.
|
|
|
|
|
And the dining room is cleaned and done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dad helped me move all the stuff out of the room. Thanks dad.

Goodbye ugly skanky carpet
|
|
|
|
|
Look what the carpet layer guys left under the carpet. Nice work dipsticks.
|
|
|
|
|
I beg to differ after finding those razors under there.
|
|
|
|
|
$4/sq yard. What a rip. They really damaged the oak in parts of the house.
|
|
|
|
|
Left by the floor guys who messed up the old hard wood. yeah, I'll call, sure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And the particle board is up too.
|
|
|
|
|
This tool was cool. It leveled the subfloor to match the old subfloor.
|
|
|
|
|
Paper barrier goes down. Hardwood pile ready to go.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tough work but going good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By the 2nd nights work I'm almost done
|
|
|
|
|
Now only 12 more rows to go.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Goodbye ugly carpet, hello hardwood floor.
|
|
|
|
|
Just need to install some transition pieces near the stone
|
|
|
|
|
Eventually, I'll sand it all down and refinish, but thats another project in...
|
|
|
|
|
And all the furniture back in place now.
|
|
|
|
|
So it looks a little better than the nappy old carpet that was there before.
|
|
|
|
|
Got the trim pieces in too.
