My office rebuild

[evangilder]

When I get the okay to tear out carpet and replace it with laminate or wood flooring, I waste no time. I much prefer the look and ease of hard flooring. Carpet holds so much dust and crud.

A-Fricken-men to that!

It really looks beautiful, nicely done.

Pic 1 looks like a hurricane had been through the place, but my what a quick clean-up. Like the wood floor, doing the same to our kitchen. And what an outcome, looks damn good Eric.

Very nice Eric. I agree with you about Hardwood flooring. We have it in our place except for the guest bedroom, bathrooms and kitchen.

Agreed, half my house is solid floor boards the other carpet, really wish it was all boards.

Great work Eric, looks good!

Looks good Eric, good job.

Thanks guys. Next month I am starting on the living room. Then all of the downstairs will be carpet free at last. I may do the stairs next year as well, but I am not sure what we are going to do with those, or the upstairs yet. I have a couple of light fixtures to replace and the kitchen faucet first. But at least this one is off the honey-do list.

I thought I would add some finished work photos, office and living room.

Looks great Eric, like the others, love the floorboards. We had a timber called 'Spotted Gum' laid in the kitchen, computer room and front hall just before Christmas and it looks great. Now I get cussed at for sliding on it in my socks.

Nice work, Eric!

You know, one of the advantages to having hardwood floors (real or not), is that now you aren't prone to finding those stray Legos hidden in the carpet with your bare feet!

 

[vikingBerserker]

WOW Eric, you installed a wooden floor in a local Toys-R-Us? Seriously beautiful job!

 

[Njaco]

Love hardwood floors. I see you childproofed your home but they still got in!

 

[evangilder]

There is definitely no shortage of toys in this house. The legos weren't the bad ones, Dave. When I did this in our townhouse, I found one of Jacob's Hot Wheels and darn near broke my neck.
