And My Floor Is Done

My body is telling me quite unmistakably to take thing even slower than I already have been doing. So I’ve been slowly laying my hardwood floor over the last 2 weeks during 5 workdays and 6 sick days dotted in. Starting out with cleaning the site, laying the under lay then cutting the curve of the front wall. Hey I’m so happy that I kept the template Kai created in the early days of the build!!

The wee beasty

Once again being confronted with cutting crooked I borrowed Robin’s table saw. I spent about 12 hours just on laying out and cutting. Although I had used a table saw once before it took me an hour to become friends with the wee beasty and get to know its quirks and mannerisms so to speak. Indi spent the day on short zip line to keep both of us safe. I had wanted to butt up the hardwood against the tiles. What shall I say, my tiled area isn’t properly squared and though I did a smashing job cutting my wood the gap is decidedly uneven. What the heck, I’ll yield and use molding to bridge the gap. The door jamb line turned out beautifully strait and I’ll finish that of with a quarter round.

Once I finally started nailing the floor down I expected this to go off easy having done all that prep work. Hm, it didn’t but yesterday I finished, having a tool deadline to fulfill, around lunchtime leaving me enough time to make use of having the table saw on site and get another job on the way. Well the divine plan changed when we had another power outage and I waxed my ceiling instead with 2 more coats to go.
