scraping continues

And the scraping continues, this time on the second floor in the middle bedroom. The baseboards are all painted white, but they’re nearly impossible to remove without damage, so they’ll have to remain white. We’ve taken the trim boards off of the closet and ran them through the new planer and quarter them with polyurethane (yesterday).  They look good, but now I’ve got to scrape the window frames as well. Dang. All under days work.

living room trim

The baseboard 1x8s are ready now – routered, stained, and urethaned, so we put them up.  Because the floor is not really level across about 24 feet (7.3m), there were adjustments needed.  It turned out to be easiest to cut them into specific lengths to match the straight parts of the floor.

 

The rear deck post is fixed now, too.

kitchen floor done

Floyd and I completed the kitchen floor today. I think it looks really good.

 

There were some pieces that needed to be cut into odd shapes, but most were simply laid down as-is.

Next: complete the rear entry / laundry room.

 

decking screws

I finally have all I need to complete the flooring., Including the cup of coffee. No, I don’t have the nail gun yet. Still waiting. So I picked up a box of decking screws to finish mounting the proboard.
