We started laying our Circle-Sawn, Fir & Larch hardwood floor in the Guest Bedroom!
We moved out the furniture, Brian’s taking out the door, only the carpet left to go!
Carpet and underlay are gone, gone, gone. And so are all the carpet nail strips and staples! I tried a “panorama” shot — it gives an odd, contorted look to the room:
Hardwood going in! Brian is having a chat and, look close, a nip of Redtail Rise Mead, while chatting with Bailey!!
Tis all in!
Here’s a close-up of the wood: 8″, 6″, 4″, 8″, 6″, 4″… With some beautiful knots!!
Sanding and staining!
All stained! It’s a bit darker than we anticipated, but this stain really shows the character of the wood!!
Then three coats of a polyurethane top coat!
Here’s a close-up:
Here, walls are washed and “Liquid Gold’ed”, and the floor is curing for a week.
The F&L turned out absolutely gorgeous!!!! We couldn’t be more pleased with the end result!!
The furniture is slowing making it’s way back in to the room. Stay tuned for photos of the final result!!! In the meantime… on to our bedroom!
