MY LAMINATE FLOORING QUEST.... April 11.......... WHAT IS SILVERTOP DOING!!!!!
Well the flooring is looking really nice!
I started on one side of the room, and started staggering the ends and mixing the wood pattern's.
Living In a house puts furniture in the path of @silvertop's flooring........
My son in High school built a solid Oak book case six foot, eight inches tall X four foot wide........... and it was loaded with books ........ what a job unloading and moving all this stuff!!!
Then there are all the custom cuts......
I needed to figure out what to do about the issue of floor damage from heavy furniture.......
I found these.......Super Sliders reusable felt sliders!!!
Guy's these really do work!!!
I also have a very large....and heavy..... glass curio, with these sliders I can slide it around! :)
They can be removed or left in place. I am just going to leave them under the furniture to protect the Oak flooring.
I also picked up this 60 tooth carbide blade to make the cuts smooth. This does what it is supposed to do cut smooth, but I quickly found out that I really didn't need to buy this because all the edge cuts are going to be covered by 1/4 inch round wood trim..... it was only $9.98 at Harbor Freight..... :)
So the Big Oak bookcase is relocated, and now this clear's the path for me to resume my flooring tomorrow!!!
Now did anyone look close at the wood stove stone hearth?????
@silvertop has to have his Latte and it's only fitting to drink with my Steem coffee mug!!!!!!
Stay tuned I'm going to pick up speed!!!!! :) Maybe LOL!!! :)
Nice job man (: Looks great!
Thanks!!! This is what i love.... my passion! :)
I'm curious about the purpose of that short extension cord on the first photo.
You are very observant @oldtimer !!!!
I have a solar powered home, and if you look behind the wood stove you will see a black vent grate. I circulate cooler bedroom air with a powered fan and it blows over the wood stove. On the dark December nights solar power is at a premium, and you could say I have a hybrid home. I can run 100% solar, but there are times I can switch to grid power......I have both. I have one duplex outlet on the grid circuit, and next to it a duplex outlet on my solar inverter circuit. The power is at the duplex's so I can choose what I need just by unplugging and replugging into the needed outlet. The line then runs to a wall switch where I can turn the fan on or off !!!!
I didn't think anyone would notice that !!! :)
I like the do-it-yourself type of guys. Their brains never sleep.
So very true, I am retired, and I have never been so busy LOL! :)
I used to build houses years ago, and now I don't know if I would have enough time ......crazy huh ???
