Before November ended, the Office got the final F&L Treatment (Fir and Larch Flooring, that is) for 2019! We filled up the Living Room, Dining Room and Guest Bedroom with all of the Office furniture… and the fish tank moved too!!
Out came the carpet and the underlay…
The Office was an outdoor deck in its previous life, and when it was first enclosed a few small gaps to the outside world were left; so we filled ’em up with spray foam insulation!
One thing we did differently in the Office was we put down some rubber-backed underlay/vapor barrier. We had some left from when the hickory floor went in and thought it would be best used in the Office. Then in went the fir & larch!
Then… belt sand, stain, palm sand, epoxy. We improved our technique with the epoxy and only needed a wee bit of palm sanding once the epoxy dried.
We topped ‘er all off with three coats of polyurethane. While it was curing we washed the walls, the windows and dusted everything.
Stay tuned for the grand finale!! You won’t have to wait long!!
