Installing Hardwood Floors in Real Time: Part 1

Come along for the journey. :)

Here's the room this morning.




This was my son's baseball-themed bedroom and I removed all the furniture recently to create a home office since he's all grown up and has flown the nest.






Bye-bye old carpet...







Wish blogs had sound and smell-a-vision. Imagine the sound of saws, air compressors and the smell of fresh wood. Sounds and smells like progress. :) See you a little later with an update...

This may seem a bit warped, but I LOVE the smell of freshly cut wood. It reminds me of going to work with my dad when I was young.

You seem to find the best crews for your work. Have you ever had a bad crew or job done? Do things always go as you plan? I love how things just get accomplished on time at your place. Where do you find such good workers?

Nothing like the smell of fresh wood but the noise, I can do without.

Do you have some earplugs? You will need them.

Try Downy (sp)? fabric softener and water for wall paper removal. I saw it on This Old House, its how some wallpaper was removed. Seem to work great and fast.

Keeping up with your progress.

I am so glad you're posting this. We are getting ready to rip out old carpet and go in with new hardwood floors. To save money, we're going to give it a shot ourselves so your blog is going to be a great resource for us!! Thank you!

We redid all the floors in our home, changing from carpet and laminate to hardwood. It took us 3 years to complete-ugh! Wish we had just bit the bullet and hired it out. Looking forward to seeing your new office. I absolutely love the PB furniture you chose.

I LOVE the smell of progress! :) (I love doing projects with my saws, just so I can smell the wood being cut..ahhh!!)
Gosh, your room is undergoing an amazing transformation right before our eyes! :)
Can't wait to see more! :)

I use to be scared to death of saws! But as life as gone on, I have learned to cope and even enjoy sawing away a piece of wood. I even do some woodwork stuff. It's weird how a fear can change into a hobby. Enjoy making and transforming your new room.

Pat, Ha! YES, it has! LOL
Next is a continuation of my life long quest to get the wallpaper off the walls! I'm heading to Lowes tomorrow and buying myself a steamer! This is war!
